I'm proud of my legal career and business career. I'm proud of my time serving on a

dozen different boards of directors and I'm proud of my efforts to forge global

business relationships.

For six years, MAGA Republicans, including members of the House committees who are in a closed

attack my wife, my children, my family, and my friends.

They have ridiculed my struggle with addiction.

They have belittled my recovery.

And they have tried to dehumanize me all to embarrass and damage my father who has

devoted his entire public life to service. For six years I have been the target of the unrelenting
