On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) said President Donald Trump and his administration were “afraid” of the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Warner said, “But again the president and this administration said that ‘there’s no there, there,’ continues through their actions to indicate that they are afraid of where this investigation may head. Let’s, again, step back for a brief moment. This week we saw Sally Yates testify that the acting attorney general who was fired, that the administration did not appropriately react to her concerns about General Flynn.”
Watch:
“We saw the director of the FBI fired literally two days before he was supposed to testify before my committee,” he continued. “We then had the president changing his reasoning for why he fired him from saying this was a recommendation of the acting attorney general or deputy attorney general to the fact that he was going to fire him anyway because of Comey’s investigation into Russia. And then we had this, again, outrageous potential claim that the president may be secretly taping his conversations.”
