“I’ve sworn an oath to protect and defend our Constitution many times throughout my life – as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve, as a Deputy Assistant Attorney General at the U.S. Department of Justice, and now as New Hampshire’s Congresswoman.

“It is sad and telling that simply stating a bedrock principle of American law caused the President of the United States to threaten violence against me, and it is downright dangerous that the Justice Department is targeting me for doing my job.

“These threats will not deter, distract, intimidate, or silence me. I will continue doing my job and upholding my oath to our Constitution. And I will never give up the ship.”
