Angus King on Sessions, Russia: ‘This Is What I Would Call a Fraud Atmosphere’

‘It has to be transparent’

EXCERPT:

KING: "Well, I think it’s very important what you just said at the end, Joe, that the American people are convinced. It has to be straight up, it has to be transparent, it has to be thorough, and nonpartisan, and that is exactly what we are trying to do. It’s hard. As you can imagine, this is what I would call a fraud atmosphere where there is a lot at stake, there are a lot of emotions on both sides. Yet, I can tell you, from having served on this committee for four years, the membership is generally consistent, there have been some changes, but it’s — we generally operate in an entirely nonpartisan way. Very rarely can I remember party line vote, one or two maybe in four years. So I’m positive that we can move forward."
