Weintraub put out the statement 24 hours after Trump told ABC News on Wednesday night that he would not necessarily report to law enforcement if a foreign national offered him political information.

Weintraub, a Democrat, joins a chorus of lawmakers, 2020 candidates and past administration officials who have criticized the president for entertaining the idea of accepting such information in light of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report that determined Russian interference in the 2016 election. The president has maintained his position that information from a foreigner does not always need to be disclosed.

Weintraub’s statement, however, did not clear up the question of whether information is a thing of value, an issue Mueller wrote was difficult to resolve.
