Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton plans to offer an amendment that puts the House on record supporting Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe and committing that it will provide any resources it needs for the team of lawyers at the Justice Department. The proposal would be attached to the House GOP crafted budget resolution. Moulton, a former Marine who served multiple tours in Iraq, plans to argue at Wednesday's budget markup that one thing that both parties can agree on is the importance of democratic elections, essentially daring Republicans on the committee to oppose the amendment. House Republicans unveiled their budget proposal Tuesday, and Wednesday's committee markup is expected to last late into the night, with Democrats attempting to attach a variety of amendments that are expected to be rejected on party line votes. It's unclear whether Democrats will press for other amendments related to Russia.
