Steve Russell: Farenthold Was ‘Unduly Accused’ and He Was ‘Exonerated’ of Sexual Harassment

‘This is not a party problem as some might see it portrayed’

EXCERPT:

RUSSELL: "Mr. Fahrenthold has been exonerated of those charges. So where do you say that he has not been?"
HARLOW: "Now the House Ethics Committee is investigating it again. Now the House Ethics Committee is investigating it again."
RUSSELL: "Then let's have some time in the investigation and not try it in the media."
HARLOW: "But you’re saying he’s unduly accused. You’re taking a position."
RUSSELL: "He was unduly accused the first time and exonerated of those charges. If new charges are leveled against him, we’ll see whether or not that that happens. But why should we try him in the press. Surely you don’t believe that as a champion of the First Amendment."
