Kaptur statement on indictment of Trump Campaign Manager Paul Manafort

Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (OH-09), the Dean of the Ohio Delegation, released the following statement regarding news that Trump Campaign Manager Paul Manafort was indicted:

"It is important that we let justice run its course, and let Mr. Mueller, the special prosecutor in this matter, do his job.

"As Co-Chair of the House Ukraine Caucus, my experience has been that people in Ukraine do not know Mr. Manafort nor are they familiar with his work, which raises many questions.

"We should not jump to any conclusions, but with matters of potential conspiracy against the United States, we must follow the facts where they lead us.

"Members of Congress, meanwhile, have a constitutional obligation to ensure our oversight and investigative reach are not artificially limited and that, in the end, justice is done."
