Washington • Sen. Mike Lee excoriated Democrats on Wednesday for jumping to conclusions about what special counsel Robert Mueller would find in his probe of President Donald Trump and his team, arguing that Trump’s critics were using the investigation to undermine the president.
“The president's political adversaries have exploited the Mueller probe – it's mere existence – to spread baseless innuendo in an effort to undermine the legitimacy of the 2016 election and the effectiveness of this administration,” Lee said in questioning Attorney General William Barr.
Time and time again, the president’s political adversaries have exploited the Mueller probe, its mere existence, to spread baseless innuendo in an effort to undermine the legitimacy of the 2016 election and the effectiveness of this administration.
