Republican Representative Charlie Dent said there was no question the Russians meddled in the election. The goal of the special counsel probe, he said, was to determine whether there was collusion between Trump associates and Russia to do so.
“I believe that’s why we’re having this investigation—to find out if in fact there was collusion. I certainly hope there wasn’t any but if there is there are going to be very serious consequences,” Dent told CNN.
Moments before Trump weighed in on Twitter, Democratic Senator Joe Manchin welcomed the special counsel investigation and said it was important to get facts in the Russia probe.
“I am not on a witch hunt. I am on a fact-finding mission,” he said on CNN.
