Pressure Mounting
Trump had tried his best to create distraction from the probe. But most Americans are looking for answers.
Trump Jr. had faced questioning about any involvement with Russia. His questioning could continue, creating more problems for the President.
Sen. Mark Warner said “there are still a number of individuals. I mean, Michael Cohen, Mr. Trump’s lawyer, we want to bring him back. We want to bring Donald Trump Jr. in. He’s not testified yet.”
“Some of these individuals, particularly Mr. Trump Jr., who’s not part of the government, we got to give a chance to have folks hear his side of the story. I still believe we need to have Mr. Kushner back before the whole committee,” Warner said.
Warner hinted at Trump Jr. testifying publicly is a possibility after the question was raised.
Richard Blumenthal said “there are a lot of areas that have been opened for future witnesses and questioning. There will be a lot of areas to be pursued.”
The President faced pressure from many sides. Investigators look at his son and son in law’s possible involvement. Then he had to work his way around his comments regarding Putin.
Clapper said, “it’s very clear that the Russians interfered in the election, and it’s still puzzling as to why Mr. Trump does not acknowledge that and embrace it and also push hard against Mr. Putin.”
“I don’t know why the ambiguity about this,” Brennan said. “Putin is committed to undermining our system, our democracy and our whole process. And to try paint it in any other way is, I think, astounding, and, in fact, poses a peril to this Country.”
