VERDICT · TRUE
The statement is a direct quotation attributed to Senator Chris Van Hollen. As a reported speech, it is factually true that he said these words (or words to this effect) according to the source provided. The claim is about what was said, not about whether the president is 'lawless,' so the veracity of the characterization does not affect the truth of the statement that he said it.
