Dems slam Trump over 'partisan investigations' - Good Morning America

Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., made a similar point on Twitter, noting the newly-launched investigations against Trump-related entities this week.

\"Not partisan investigations. It’s #Mueller , a Republican, the southern district of New York, Republican, [and eastern] district of Virginia, Republican. #TrumpRussia #TrumpLies,\" Cohen, chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee, tweeted.

Prosecutors in New York's Southern District subpoenaed documents from President Donald Trump's inauguration committee earlier this week, sources with knowledge of the matter told ABC News.

Other lawmakers, including Rep. Donald Payne Jr., D-N.J., and Rep. Lois Frankel, D-Fla., also slammed the president over the comment.

\"Protecting the Mueller investigation is a bipartisan issue. We will protect the investigation so truth can come to light,\" Payne tweeted. \"There's nothing ridiculous about investigating crimes, Mr. President. No one, not even you, is above the law. Mueller's investigation must be completed without obstruction. Every American deserves the truth,\" Frankel added.

Protecting the Mueller investigation is a bipartisan issue. We will protect the investigation so truth can come to light. #sotu

Here's a look at some of the other Democrats in Congress who reacted to the president's SOTU speech in real time:

Rep. Ben Ray Lujan, D-N.M.

President Trump's attempts to undercut the Special Counsel's investigation are unacceptable. Robert Mueller must be allowed to complete his work without obstruction. #SOTU
— Ben Ray Lujan (@repbenraylujan) February 6, 2019

Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis.

RT to make sure @realDonaldTrump gets the message: The Mueller investigation is not a ridiculous partisan investigation

Here it is in Russian in case he needs it:

Sen Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

I want to thank President @realDonaldTrump for being the warm up act.

Now we have the real show:

The great Stacey Abrams from the State of Georgia. #SOTU pic.twitter.com/rLTSTEWCT7

Rep. Nanette Barragan, D-Calif.

President claiming victory for unleashing energy revolution. He is really taking about bringing oil CEOs to lead on enviro policy to destroy our planet, drill more and increase pollution. Bad for our #environment. #SOTU
— Nanette D. Barragán (@RepBarragan) February 6, 2019

Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill.

It’s unfortunate that the commander-in-chief did not use tonight as an opportunity to change course or deliver a positive and inclusive message that moves us forward as a nation.
— Tammy Duckworth (@SenDuckworth) February 6, 2019

Former Vice President Joe Biden

Stacey Abrams achieved in a matter of minutes something Donald Trump failed to do in over an hour -- to embrace and give voice to the spirit and core values that make America great.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) February 6, 2019

Rep. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev.

If the President is sincere about working together with Democrats then he needs to stop playing political games and start supporting legislation that invests in our schools, fixes our roads and bridges, and makes health care more affordable for working families. #SOTU
— Senator Jacky Rosen (@SenJackyRosen) February 6, 2019

Rep. Norma Torres, D-Calif.

Our economy isn’t strong when wealthy shareholders and corporate executives have bankrupted the middle class under the Trump-GOP tax law. Even worse, our children will have to deal with the massive debt that the #GOPTaxScam has created. #SOTU19
— Rep. Norma Torres (@NormaJTorres) February 6, 2019
