Representative Shea was given an opportunity to communicate with investigators and chose not to. Allegations this serious, many supported by his own communications and associates, justify this immediate action,” said Rep. Wilcox.
He added, “The Chief Clerk of the Washington State House of Representatives has referred the full report to the U.S. Attorney’s Office and FBI. If any action is pursued, like all Americans, Representative Shea deserves a fair process and the opportunity to address the allegations made against him directly.
Rep. She said he will not resign
Meanwhile, Rep. Shea called the investigation against him as a “sham” and stated that he “will not resign” from his position.
In a post on Facebook, he wrote, “Like we are seeing with our President this is a sham investigation meant to silence those of us who stand up against attempts to disarm and destroy our great country. I will not back down, I will not give in, I will not resign. Stand strong fellow Patriots. Thank you to everyone for the massive outpouring of support prayers! I will continue to defend the constitution against tyranny and fight to protect our God given unalienable rights to life, liberty, property, and the ability to defend the same.”
