GOP Congress members face Trump-Russia probe baggage into 2018
The indictment of two of President Donald Trump’s former campaign officials carries bad news for Republicans in Congress: now they know that investigations of Russian election meddling won’t end before their own 2018 re-election campaigns kick into gear.
Perhaps as troubling for Republicans is the news that a former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser, George Papadopoulos, pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and agreed to cooperate with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into possible collusion between the campaign and Russians who sought to influence the election.
Republicans who will run in 2018 to keep control of the House and Senate must brace for continued questions -- including what may yet be uncovered about any Russian help given to the GOP in the campaign for the White House.
