Lawmakers take wait-and-see approach to latest Trump-Russia reports
By Brett Samuels - 01/13/19 03:09 PM EST
Lawmakers are looking to special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate new bombshell reports alleging ties between President Trump and Russia, with members of both parties acknowledging they want to know whether the reports are true.
But while Democrats are renewing their calls to protect Mueller's ongoing investigation, the GOP is dismissing the importance of the latest allegations.
“The right answer is… to protect the Mueller investigation at all costs, let it get to its end, make sure that the results are made public,†Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) said on “Meet the Press.â€
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said on CNN that whether Trump ever worked on behalf of the Russians is "the defining question" of Mueller's investigation.
Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) on Fox News maintained that the latest reports underscore the need to allow Mueller's investigation to reach "its logical conclusion."
But Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, on NBC criticized Washington, D.C.'s, focus on the Mueller investigation as out of touch with the rest of the country.
