i've been proud to have worked with many senators on both sides of the aisle senators heitkamp, gillibrand, ayotte murkowski on a simple yet straightforward amendment which incentivizes state and federal cooperation on this important issue. the mann act cooperation amendment will free up federal resources by allowing state attorneys general and local d.a.'s to prosecute human trafficking cases that would otherwise be a sign to federal government prosecutors or if federal government prosecutors do not have the resources to take on such cases oftentimes they're not going to be pursued. at the same time this amendment preserves the federal prosecutor's ability to exercise prosecutorial options while importantly increasing transparency about decisions made on human trafficking cases. mr. president, in human trafficking cases it's often local investigators and local prosecutors who have the most information on these cases. as alaska's attorney general i saw this firsthand. we usually had great cooperation with our partners in the federal government. but when the feds can't take on human traffic

gillibrand: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from new york. mrs. gillibrand: i rise to also speak about human trafficking and i associate myself with the comments of senator heitkamp. human trafficking is a modern-day form of slavery that is alive active, and must be stopped. many of the stories we hear from traffic survivors sound more like plots in a horror movie than real life in the united states of america. but these stories are not fiction. over and over, we hear stories about young americans forced into captivity about young americans forced into sexual exploitation about young americans who have no freedom to say no to a violent pimp, but are still tagged with prostitution charges before they even turn 18. human trafficking is a crime that rips families apart breaks down the trust in our communities, and shatters young american lives. mr. president, it is long overdue that congress pay close attention to this issue and i commend my fellow female senators for bringing this issue so boldly to the floor of the senate. today i want to talk abou

gillibrand: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from new york. mrs. gillibrand: i rise to offer an amendment to senator cornyn's bill the justice for victims of trafficking act. under current law, there are many trafficking victims who even after gaining freedom from their captors have to live their lives stuck with a criminal record because of things they were forced to do in captivity. imagine being freed from the hell of sexual slavery only to find yourself unable to get a job or stable housing because the law considers you a criminal. my amendment the federal criminal procedure post-conviction relief for victims of trafficking act would vacate the criminal convictions of trafficking victims who were forced to break the law while they were trafficked. it would expunge the criminal records of trafficking victims and would give trafficking victims a chance to restart their lives without the stigma and without a criminal record. these boys and girls were snatched into captivity. they were forced into sexual slavery, and they were denied the freedom to

it's because of you that kirsten gillibrand can lead the fight against sexual assault in the militaryou that elizabeth warren can work to hold wall street accountable. >> okay. nice words about elizabeth warren and nancy pelosi. nothing about this. i'm sort of torn on this. you know she's about to launch a presidential campaign. this is a big story about her transparency. she's skirting at least the spirit if not the letter of the federal records act and she says nothing about it. surprised? >> i'm a little surprised. i mean the people i talked to before the speech yesterday, people sort of in hillary's circle or outer circle said sure this would probably be a good environment for her to do that. this is her base. these are her fans 1600 or so women there. so maybe she could have said something that was you know maybe about how she's often attacked. i think stephanie shriock who is the president of emily's list talked about that. but she didn't take the opportunity. i think it shows how vulnerable she is right now, she's in this noncampaign-campaign face and she doesn't have the clint
