How to use inquiry in a sentence?

  1. Thomas Jefferson:

    I am mortified to be told that, in the United States of America, the sale of a book can become a subject of inquiry, and of criminal inquiry too.

  2. Albert Einstein:

    It is in fact nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry for what this delicate little plant needs more than anything, besides stimulation, is freedom. It is a very grave mistake to think that the enjoyment of seeing and searching can be promoted by means of coercion and a sense of duty.

  3. Patrick Meehan:

    While I do believe I would be exonerated of any wrongdoing, I also did not want to put my staff through the rigors of an Ethics Committee investigation and believed it was best for them to have a head start on new employment rather than being caught up in an inquiry, and since I have chosen to resign, the inquiry will not become a burden to taxpayers and committee staff.

  4. Rudy Giuliani:

    It has been President Donald Trump position from the outset that much of what has been asked raised serious constitutional issues and was beyond the scope of a legitimate inquiry, this remains President Donald Trump position today. The President has nonetheless provided unprecedented cooperation. The special counsel has been provided with more than 30 witnesses, 1.4 million pages of material, and now the President's written responses to questions. It is time to bring this inquiry to a conclusion.

  5. John Demers:

    Fundamentally, the reason why the firm was on the hook is, after the firm got an inquiry from the FARA unit, it then went to the partner who was in charge of this matter and asked about the inquiry, and based on his representations then made a series of representations to the Justice Department that were not accurate, and when you think about the lack of due diligence that went into the work that was done before the representations were made to Justice Department, and when you think about how different Justice Department is from what you would advise your clients to do... it's really remarkable.
