Following reports of the troubling intelligence assessment that suggests Donald Trump may have been comprised by Russia, Senator Dick Durbin has released a statement calling for a special investigation.
Durbin stated that the new report makes Trump’s public statements about Russia “even more worrisome,” and that the claims, “though unverified, warrant serious investigation by a Select Committee in Congress or a Commission of public officials and private citizens with subpoena power to investigate them.”
“The allegation that an American President could be susceptible to blackmail by a hostile foreign government is historic and deeply troubling,” said Durbin. “It makes the resistance of Republican leaders in the Senate and House to a fulsome investigation all the more inexplicable.”
Indeed, in addition to raising further questions about Trump’s disloyalty, the report serves to amplify the fair-weather patriotism and thundering silence of many Congressional Republicans.
