Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) on Sunday suggested President Trump “never” discuss the investigation into Russia’s election interference unless he is speaking privately with his lawyer.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) on Sunday said she thinks President Trump should “never” discuss the investigation into Russia’s election interference unless he is speaking privately with his lawyer.
“I think the president would be best served by never discussing the investigation ever, whether in tweets, except in private conversations with his attorney,” Collins told CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Collins’s advice to the president comes after The New York Times reported that Trump last year called for Mueller’s firing, but backtracked after the White House Counsel threatened to quit.
The report provided fodder for Democrats who argued that the president tried to obstruct justice.
Trump often speaks publicly about the probe, including on his Twitter, account, where he has argued the investigation is an «excuse» for Democrats’ loss in the 2016 presidential election.
