I urge you to join me in writing to the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security
Kirstjen Nielsen to clarify her recent letter to members of Congress on election security. She writes that DHS has taken many steps to secure the 2018 elections from cyber threats. However, I remain concerned that there are still steps the
Department must take, and that our progress on election security must not remain static.
Due to disturbing revelations of Jamal Khashoggi’s disappearance and likely murder, we are seeking urgent answers from the United States intelligence community regarding foreknowledge of the Saudi plot to capture Mr. Khashoggi and whether intelligence agencies
carried out their duty to warn him of that threat.

In recognition of distinguished acts of bravery, leadership, and achievement that have an enduring impact on American history, Congress is authorized to bestow its highest civilian honor – the Congressional Gold Medal – on individuals whose contributions
and service to our nation stand as a testament to our founding principles.

As mounting evidence appears to indicate that the Government of Saudi Arabia directed the murder and dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi, I invite you to join our effort (letter below) to voice support for an urgent investigation, as our Senate colleagues have
initiated under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act. This would determine whether a foreign person “is responsible for extrajudicial killings, torture, or other gross violations of internationally recognized human rights.” We would support
the imposition of sanctions on those determined to be responsible for this with respect to Mr. Khashoggi.
With state election systems facing constant external threats, the integrity of our elections is more vulnerable than ever. Despite clear evidence of foreign interference in the 2016 election, and ongoing attempts to influence the 2018 election, Congress
has refused to take the basic steps needed to protect our democracy from cyberattacks.
