The Russian inquiry has caused quite a stir. Charges have been made against some very prominent men. The arrest and guilty plea of George Papadopoulos had caused ripples in the White House.
Trump had earlier in the day tweeted “Sorry, but this is years ago, before Paul Manafort was part of the campaign” and “. . . Also, there is NO COLLUSION!”
But the situation shifted when the announcement of Papadopoulos surfaced. Now the American people wait to see what will become of this.
All eyes are on Trump to see his next move. Congress agreed that what has surfaced will affect them.
Papadopoulos worked as an adviser to Trump. He seemed to be the key in Trump’s downfall. He had viable information about the Russian scandal.
Congress
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said “I really don’t have anything to add, other than nothing’s going to derail what we’re doing in Congress.”
He was responding to questions about the indictments.
Simon Rosenberg said “it has added a degree of unpredictability and volatility into what was already an unpredictable environment. It ends up just being a thing that just started eating up bandwidth.”
Rosenberg is a Democratic strategist who shared his own thoughts on the issue.
Democrats were concerned Trump might try to interfere.
“If he does, Congress must respond swiftly, unequivocally and in a bipartisan way to ensure that the investigation continues,” said Charles E. Schumer. Charles E. Schumer is the Senate Minority Leader.
