Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said that Americans beyond the Beltway do not think the investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow is that important.
On Sunday, Cruz told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that the media’s focus on special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russia’s campaign to disrupt the 2016 U. S. presidential election is just another example of the disconnect between most of the nation and its capital.

“So the questions I get are not about the latest obsession and allegations about Russia, Russia.
