                      INVESTIGATE FALSE ACCUSATION

  (Mr. GAETZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GAETZ. Madam Speaker, after the Mueller report, we now know that 
President Trump was falsely accused of engaging in a criminal 
conspiracy with Russia for 22 months. So the question is, what to do 
now that we are aware of that false accusation?
  Democrats believe that the right approach is to tweeze through all 
the President's reactions to being falsely accused. Republicans believe 
that we should figure out what the root was of the false accusations in 
the first place.
  As we endeavor upon that work, we see across the rotunda in the 
Senate that harassment of the First Family continues. Donald Trump, 
Jr., will be hauled before a Senate committee tomorrow because his 
prior testimony purportedly conflicts with the testimony of Mr. Gates 
and Mr. Cohen, people who are either in prison for lying or going to 
prison for lying.
  It is past time to stop the harassment of the President and the First 
Family, acknowledge those who engaged in false accusations for an 
extended period of time, and figure out how in the world such an 
accusation was able to be funded by the DNC, cooked up in the Obama 
White House, and then polluted by Russians.
  We can do a lot better, and we are going to figure out what happened.
