The Republican Party has supported President Donald Trump’s new administration with a few exceptions, but one GOP Senator made a bold call Saturday for President Trump to back up his claims that former President Barack Obama illegally wiretapped Trump Tower last October. Senator Ben Sasse (R-Nebraska) issued the statement calling for Trump to cite his sources and clarify “what sort of wiretap it was and how he knows this.”
-“The President today made some very serious allegations, and the informed citizens that a republic requires deserve more information. We are in the midst of a civilization-warping crisis of public trust, and the President’s allegations today demand the thorough and dispassionate attention of serious patriots. A quest for the full truth, rather than knee-jerk partisanship, must be our guide if we are going to rebuild civic trust and health.”
