Newt Gingrich: 'Legalistic nightmare' being formulated to block Trump's agenda
by Kyle Feldscher | Jun 18, 2017, 9:36 AM
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich called the investigation into Russian interference into the election, and if President Trump obstructed that investigation, is a "legalistic nightmare" that's trying to block his agenda.
Gingrich, an outspoken defender of Trump who is promoting a book he's written about the new president, said on ABC on Sunday that questions about whether Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein should follow Attorney General Jeff Sessions' lead and recuse himself from the Russia investigation are just a distraction.
"This whole game of recusal now, this is a nightmare," he said. "I don't think people realize this: You have this legalistic nightmare trying to block the Trump presidency."
