50. If Lieu is talking about the anonymous tips that we've seen

It's not really possible to investigate due to lack of details. Obviously we don't know if that's what he's talking about, but he didn't provide details.

We've seen people shooting a pizza place, aCDC building, and storming the capital building because of allegations. As much as I would love to be rid of Trump, I'm skeptical of uncorroborated allegations and of we can't tell you, but it's awful claims.
