Dems call for independent Russia probe in wake of Comey firing
Source: MSN/USA Today
WASHINGTON President Trump's firing of FBI Director James Comey in the middle of several investigations of possible Trump campaign ties to last years Russian meddling in U.S. elections caused a firestorm of protest from Democratic members of Congress, with many calling for the appointment of a special prosecutor.
Some equated the firing with events known as the "Saturday Night Massacre" during the Watergate scandal that brought down President Richard Nixon.
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said he told Trump that he had made a big mistake when informed of the decision.
