when a Russian government-backed lawyer met with Donald Trump Jr. and other Trump campaign officials in June 2016, there was someone else in the room: A former Soviet intelligence officer and lobbyist with strong ties to Congressman Dana Rohrabacher.

Before Russian lobbyist Rinat Akhmentshin attended the now-infamous Trump Jr. meeting, he met with Rep. Rohrabacher multiple times in both the U.S. and Berlin. Rep. Rohrabacher then argued against a global anti-corruption bill in Congress that was opposed by the Russian government.
It’s clear that the people of Orange County haven’t been a priority for Rep. Rohrabacher for some time. But now, after being influenced by Russian intelligence officials who may have also been involved in the attack on our elections, he must tell the entire truth about his dealings with Russia.

The new revelations are just the latest in a disturbing pattern of Rep. Rohrabacher advocating for Russian interests and defending Vladimir Putin:
- Rep. Rohrabacher OPPOSED sanctions on Russia, even after the invasion of Crimea and the supplying of weapons to Syrian dictator Bashar Al-Assad.
- Rep. Rohrabacher DEFENDED Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, saying it’s “baloney” that the Russian government violates human rights.
- Rep Rohrabacher USED propaganda he received directly from the Russian government to change the Magnitsky Act, a global anti-corruption bill.
There is unmistakable evidence that the Russian government attacked our election system in 2016 with the specific aim of helping Donald Trump’s campaign. With new information every day about the possibility that the Trump campaign colluded with Russian agents in that attack, it’s more important than ever that Rep. Rohrabacher come clean.
