On Wednesday, documentary filmmaker Michael Moore called on Democrats to “declare a National Emergency” in light of the FBI’s confirmation that an investigation into ties between Russia and Trump’s team is ongoing, reports the Huffington Post.
In an Instagram post, Moore said that the “announcement, by the head of the Trump-friendly FBI, is a shock to our democracy. The Democratic leadership in the House and Senate needs to bring a halt to all business being done in the name of this potential felony suspect, Donald J. Trump.” 
He continued, “No bill he supports, no Supreme Court nominee he has named, can be decided while he is under a criminal investigation. His presidency has no legitimacy until the FBI - and an independent investigative committee -- discovers the truth. Fellow citizens, demand the Democrats cease all business.” 
Moore finishes his post with a biting historical reference. 
He quotes Richard Nixon, who, during an interview conducted while his taxes were under scrutiny and questions regarding his involvement in the Watergate scandal were mounting, said, “The American people have a right to know if their President is a crook.”
