A group of over 100 former national security officials and Republican former members of Congress published a statement Monday calling on GOP leaders to publicly demand President Donald Trump concede the election.
“We believe that President Trump’s refusal to concede the election and allow for an orderly transition constitutes a serious threat to America’s democratic process and to our national security,” the former officials wrote in their statement.
“We therefore call on Republican leaders ― especially those in Congress ― to publicly demand that President Trump cease his anti-democratic assault on the integrity of the presidential election,” the statement continued.
The signatories include former Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge, former CIA Director Michael Hayden, former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, and former Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte.
