Senator John Cornyn, R-Texas, has triumphantly announced that the FBI has agreed to help him locate the Texas House Democrats who fled the state to break quorum, the Texas Tribune reports. Cornyn claimed on a local radio show operatives from the federal agency’s San Antonio and Austin offices have been assigned to the mission, according to the Trib. “I thank President Trump and Director Patel for supporting and swiftly acting on my call for the federal government to hold these supposed lawmakers accountable for fleeing Texas,” Cornyn said in a statement Thursday.
