[Statement as ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee:] A foreign leader interfering in American elections is unacceptable. The people of the United States and Colombia share two centuries of friendship and partnership … I value the U.S.-Colombia alliance deeply, and I am concerned by any action that could erode the bipartisan support … President de la Espriella's decision to involve himself in an American election while serving as the leader of Colombia [puts that support in jeopardy]. … The American people decide who represents them in the House, not foreign leaders. … Congress will be watching.
