Subpoena of Trump Jr. Splits Republicans

“The Senate Intelligence Committee’s decision to subpoena Donald Trump Jr. opened up a rift among Republicans, as some questioned the necessity of the GOP chairman’s request and others called for the investigation to continue unimpeded,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Scrutiny settled Thursday on committee chairman Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), who often has taken a more bipartisan approach toward probing President Trump than some of his fellow Republicans.”

Washington Post: “The sudden infighting threatened to undermine support for the Senate’s Russia investigation, which is the sole bipartisan probe in Congress into Russian interference in the 2016 election and has been widely praised as operating with little public drama.”
