Trump's attorney slams Congress' ongoing Russia probes

President Trump's attorney Jay Sekulow says that Congress needs to move on from its ongoing probes into the president's alleged ties to the Russian government in light of Special counsel Robert Mueller concluding that the Trump campaign did not "conspire or coordinate" with the Russian government in its interference of the 2016 presidential election.

Sekulow told "CBS This Morning" on Monday that while the special counsel's probe has ended, ongoing congressional investigations are a "waste of money" and slammed their inquiries as "political."

"Let's get on with the people's business," Sekulow said, highlighting the need for unresolved legislative issues like immigration reform to take precedence over the Russia investigation.

"There's lot of good things that can happen in Congress...the idea that there's going to be these ongoing congressional oversight hearings on something that's been delved into," said Sekulow, citing the numerous subpoenas and search warrants carried out over the 22 month-long investigation.

the Russians say they didn't do it. So it must not have happened.

Trump supporters are really smart. They just act the way they do to lull us into a false sense of insecurity.
