Senator John Cornyn posted a series of statements on July 31, 2025, alleging misconduct by Hillary Clinton and her campaign team during the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
In his first tweet, Cornyn stated, “New report confirms what the public already knew: Hillary Clinton & her campaign aides colluded to falsely smear her pollical opponent @realDonaldTrump with the Russia hoax.” This post was published at 21:31 UTC.
Shortly after, he followed up with another statement calling for action: “We must right this egregious wrong to ensure this NEVER happens again & restore trust in our intelligence agencies.” The tweet also included a link for further information.
In a third tweet posted at the same time, Cornyn claimed, “Obama’s FBI used the phony Steele Dossier to fan the flames of a collusion narrative targeted at the Trump campaign.”
Senator John Cornyn has served as a U.S. Senator from Texas since 2002. Over his career, he has secured victories in several general elections: defeating Ron Kirk in 2002 with 55% of the vote, Rick Noriega in 2008 with 54.8%, David Alameel in 2014 with 61.6%, and MJ Hegar in 2020 with 53.5%.
The claims referenced by Cornyn relate to longstanding controversies surrounding investigations into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and subsequent debates over political conduct during that period.
