Coons: ‘I Am Concerned’ Trump’s Willing to Take the Word of a ‘Strongman’ Over Our Intel Community

‘President Trump seems to be willing to take the word of the King of Saudi Arabia’

EXCERPT:

COONS: “I haven't had a classified brief yet on the latest information that our intelligence community has gathered, but I am concerned that President Trump seems willing to take the word of the King of Saudi Arabia, the king and Secretary Pompeo having gone to meet with the king and crown prince, he seems strongly inclined to take their side of it rather than waiting and listening to our intelligence community and rather than listening as well to our treaty ally Turkey. I am concerned that this is yet another incident of the president believing a strongman like Putin as he did in Helsinki, rather than listening to our own intelligence community or criminal investigators.”
