the pledge of allegiance will be led by the gentleman from georgia, mr. allen. mr. allen: thank you, madam speaker. i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. the speaker: the chair will entertain up to 15 requests for one-minute speeches on each side of the aisle. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from pennsylvania seek recognition? >> i seek unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. revise and extend my remarks. the speaker: without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. >> madam speaker, last week nearly 50 migrants who sought asigh lem and refuge in america were met with dwroasly un-american action -- grossly un-american actions. governor desantis deceived them and shipped them across the nation like chattel to martha's vineyard in search of hollow political points. not only was this a failed political stunt, it is a failure of common humanity, common decency. to think of what men, women, children, a

mr. allen: mr. chair, i emphasize, it's imperative we address the mental health crisis that's plaguing our society. we all agree here in the house on that, but we should do that by ensuring access to reliable, high-quality, and affordable mental health services, not by punishing employers with undo litigation for offering these benefits to our workers. i remain committed to finding solutions to combat the mental health problem in this country, especially our youth. it is my hope that in the future that house -- as my chairman said that house democrats will work in a bipartisan manner to address this crisis rather than bringing damaging legislation such as h.r. 7780 to the floor and i yield back. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. the chair now recognizes the gentleman from california. mr. desaulnier: mr. speaker, i yield two minutes to the very distinguished gentleman from connecticut and member of the education and labor committee, mr. courtney. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for

foxx, and mr. allen and i look forward to continuing that. but i think there is a real urgency on that. on the trust, i would respectfully disagree, given the level of inequality in this country right now i think it's important that we support competition in the marketplace and the federal trade commission needs the resources to make sure that that happens. the pava bill obviously has bipartisan support. on all these rules i'm anxious to get them off the floor today as a rule and look forward to seeing -- to continued debate tomorrow on the specific bills and the outcome of those bills. with that, i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentlewoman from minnesota is recognized. mrs. fischbach: i yield two minutes to my colleague from california. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from california is recognized. >> thank you. mr. speaker, i reluctantly rise in opposition to this rule and will vote no. i'm a supporter of all three bills covered by this rule as they were originally introduced. i'm even a co-sponsor o

mr. allen: the golf hall of fame was founded in augusta. bobby jones and clifford roberts were founders of the masters. i rise today to congratulate the newest inductee into the georgia golf hall of fame -- pga master professional tommy brennan. tommy has served as our head pro at augusta country club for the past 22 years. in that time i have come to know tommy and his family well, not only through golf but through our church, club, and community projects. there's a quote which tommy lives by -- whatever you are, be a good one. among his many accomplishments, tommy has won the state title at marietta high school. he was an all-american at columbus state university. and the decades since he's qualified and played in multiple pga professional competitions. tommy has also raised nearly $100,000 through an annual golf tournament benefitting area veterans. over the years, tommy has been many things. a husband, father, friend, and mentor, and in all these things he's endeavored always to be a good one. congratulations, tommy, be on this most mom

mr. trump made known through allen weisselberg that he wanted his net worth reflected on the statements toincrease. a desire that mr. weisselberg and others carried out year after year. in their fraudulent preparation of statements. >> james also went out of her way to mention the investigation was predicated on congressional testimony from trump's one-time lawyer michael cohen. >> i will remind everyone that this investigation only started after michael cohen, the former lawyer testified before congress and shed light on this misconduct. >> you might recall that cohen disclosed trump's financial dealings to congress under questioning from democrats on the house oversight committee. >> did the president or his company ever inflate assets or revenues? >> yes. >> did the president ever provide inflated assets to an insurance company? >> yes. >> who else knows that the president did this? >> allen weisselberg, ron liebermann and matthew calamari. >> where would the committee find more information on this? do you think we need to review his financial statements and his tax returns in order to

mr. allen: i've had the privilege to captain the republican ryder cup team for the past four competitions. the ryder cup, what we do is we raise money for charities that benefit the game of golf. obviously, first tee and both the national links trust, and we raised over $2 million in this effort. . thank you. this year, i'm pleased to announce that the republican team was i want to thank my team, but i want to take this moment to talk about the captain of the democratic team. he is the best player in the united states congress, number one. all my best players want to take this guy on, because if you beat john yarmuth you have done something. john came to congress in 2007 and when he hit here, he became captain of the democrat ryder cup team. and i think you won four in a row immediately, but john obviously, you are retiring this year. i want to thank you for your supports manship and leadership and competition to the game we all love. let's give john a round. and john, it has been an honor to c

mr. trump made known through allen weisselberg that he wanted his net worth reflected on the statements tor. weisselberg and others carried out year after year. >> does that match your experience? >> yes. and i discussed it with them at length and i provided them documentation, including the personal financial statements. that was obviously -- what it did was it gave them the ability to take the documents i provided, not just to them, but to all the various congressional committees, the house oversight committee that it was posted live on, and what they did is they track it back. for example, the craziness about his triplex apartment. 30,000 square feet, highest price ever attained. in fact, the whole building is not worth that amount of money, and it's never seen that amount of money. they did it with seven springs, mar-a-lago, virtually every single property, including his golf courses. so that's the big problem. >> when you see her act where others have not, including the d.a. case, which famously got to weisselberg but not beyond, do you think it's something different about james? do y

mr. trump made known, through allen weisselberg, that he wanted his network reflected on the statements tomr. weisselberg and others carried out year after year in their fraudulent preparation of statements. and when asked about these meetings under oath, as part of our deposition, both men, mr. trump, and mr. weisselberg, invoked their fifth amendment privilege against self-incrimination and they refused to answer. when asked under oath if he, mr. trump, continued to review and approve the statements after becoming president of the united states in 2017, mr. trump again invoked his fifth amendment privilege, and refused to answer. >> they pled the fifth, but this is a civil case. >> yes, so the pleading the fifth, it may be invoked if you think the answer could expose to you criminal prosecution in any venues, so the southern district of new york or the manhattan district attorney's office, you can invoke your fifth amendment right. but what's different in those cases is that with this, letitia james can use that and bring it before a jury. it is an adverse inference to the invocation tha

allen weissleberg and trump organization controller. >> that's some of what she laid out today. it is true you cannot do guilty by association, family, or otherwise. mrgoods. the complaint, this lawsuit says the children were intimately involved in the operation of the business, were aware of the true financial performance, which the suit alleges they were all lying about and says donald trump jr., ivanka trump, and eric trump knowingly participated in the fraudulent scheme that was integral to the company, that required their participation, and these are exactly the claims and assertions that are backed up partly by evidence in the 200-page suit, and which will be adjudicated in court. now you have allen weissleberg named more than 80 times in this suit. and someone we heard less about, the krofrp patroller. he cut the actual checks. he's now a defendant as well. again, no guilt by association, can't be in trouble just for working for trump or having trump in your family name. each of these people will get their day in court, as i emphasized, but it's a lot of evidence coming down on them that they were involved and they knew. i have something else

allen weisselberg. >> are these relief that a judge would have to approve? >> yes. >> these things aren't happening at the moment? >> yes. >> this will be litigated down the line? >> correct. it's important to understand that mr. trump will have a financial interest in a lot of these corporations. if he decides to at some point in time sell them or if he decides to he restructure them, this is part of the relief we are seeking. we are seeking to -- we are not seeking to dissolve them. he still has a financial interest in these businesses and corporations. >> to collect rent, to obtain a loan based on them as collateral, to sell the property -- maybe i'm missing some other practical things -- if approved by a judge down the loan, these are things he would not be able to do? >> correct. for the next five years. >> two more questions. >> can you explain something about how the former president -- you allege he did this for at least a decade or more. how did he get away with what you are saying he got away with for such a long period of time? a lot of these transactions are with some of the largest financial institutions and insurance companies in the state of new york. do they just not check anything that people
