Demand Answers on Trump’s Decision to Halt Cyber Operations Against Russia

I am writing to express my deep concern over recent reports that former President Donald Trump unilaterally halted U.S. cyber operations designed to counter Russian disinformation campaigns and election interference. According to Gizmodo and other outlets, Trump’s order effectively disarmed crucial components of our nation’s cyber defenses, leaving the United States vulnerable to ongoing Russian attacks on our elections, infrastructure, and national security. This decision appears to have been made without consultation with Congress, the intelligence community, or cybersecurity experts — all while Russia’s efforts to undermine our democracy were ongoing and well-documented. Such actions, if true, raise serious questions about whether Trump’s motivations were in the best interest of the United States or if they served the interests of a hostile foreign power. I urge you to demand immediate answers from Trump and all relevant agencies, including the Department of Defense, Cyber Command, and the National Security Council, regarding the rationale, timeline, and potential consequences of this decision. Furthermore, given the grave national security implications, I request that Congress open a formal investigation into whether this decision could constitute an act of treason or a deliberate betrayal of the oath to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The American people deserve transparency and accountability. Our democratic institutions depend on your willingness to pursue the truth, no matter how uncomfortable or politically inconvenient it may be. Please let me know what actions you plan to take to address this alarming situation. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your commitment to defending our democracy.
