44 former senators urge Senate to defend democracy amid constitutional crisis

A bipartisan group of 44 former senators urged the Senate Monday to stand in “defense of our democracy” amid the crises posed by the investigations into President Trump and global conflicts.

“We are on the eve of the conclusion of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation and the House’s commencement of investigations of the president and his administration,” the lawmakers wrote in an op-ed published Monday in the Washington Post. “The likely convergence of these two events will occur at a time when simmering regional conflicts and global power confrontations continue to threaten our security, economy and geopolitical stability.”

As a result, the lawmakers argued that the country was on the cusp of entering an era “when our nation must engage at every level with strategic precision and the hand of both the president and the Senate.”
