Senator Warner at press conference: All Dems and GOP must unambiguously say that any effort to shut down Mueller probe would be a gross abuse of power. This is a red line.
Sen Warner: Many of the same people attacking Mueller's appointment today praised him months ago
Sen Warner: Our intel committee uncovered numerous, troubling high-level engagements between the Trump campaign and Russian affiliates
Sen Warner: The national security threat we face demands we rise above partisan differences. We should all want to know the truth about what happened in the election, and know it as quickly as possible
