Sheldon Whitehouse Suggests Jared Kushner Is Not Telling the Truth About Russia

EXCERPT:

WHITEHOUSE: "What you have is a lot of people who are speaking in a forum where there’s no penalty for not telling the truth. So the sooner that people can be put before a grand jury or interviewed by FBI agents or put into a place where there’s an actual penalty for not telling the truth, then I think the truth will begin to emerge. There’s a reason that we ask people questions under oath. There’s a reason that we penalize lies under oath as perjury or as federal felony false statements. It's because of how you get at the truth. If people are just talking on television all the time, they can say whatever they please. I think that’s what we’re seeing right now."
