“We have a crisis on the Southern border but the elites in the city … want to manage situations to bad outcomes. And Donald Trump is not going to do that, he’s just not going to kick the can down the road.”
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway said Sunday “nobody likes” the Trump administration’s policy of separating families who cross the border illegally, but indicated President Trump will not act unilaterally to change it.
“What the administration has decided to do is to separate children from their parents to try to send a message that if you cross the border with children your children are going to be ripped away from you,” Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
“That is traumatizing to children who are innocent victims,” she added.
“What the administration is doing, they’re using the grief, the tears, the pain of these kids as mortar to build their wall,” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said on “Meet the Press."
“It’s an effort to extort a bill to their liking in the Congress. It’s, I think, deeply unethical,” he added.
"This is inhumane. I’d like to say it’s un-American but it’s happening right now in America," Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) said on CNN's "State of the Union." "And it is on all of us, not just the Trump administration. This is on all of us."
Rudy Giuliani said Sunday he doubts President Trump knew that his longtime adviser, Roger Stone, met during the 2016 campaign with a Russian man who offered dirt on Hillary Clinton.
“My advice to him, you know, as long as I’m his lawyer, is not to do it,” he said. “Because you just cloud what is becoming now a very clear picture of a very unfair investigation.”
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) said on Sunday that there will be action in the House this week if the FBI and the Department of Justice (DOJ) do not comply with subpoena requests.
“The president of the United States tomorrow should direct Rosenstein, order him within 48 hours, he will comply with every subpoena of documents and witnesses to Capitol Hill, to all five committees. And if he does not do it in 48 hours, he is fired.”
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) said on Sunday that the Justice Department’s Inspector General (IG) report on the handling of the Hillary Clinton email probe helps President Trump.
Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) described a state of fear in Republican politics, saying that incumbent lawmakers are "running for cover" out of concern that they could be on the receiving end of the president's tweets.
Outgoing Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) told NBC News that there are no seeming consequences for President Trump when he lies, cautioning that there would be "incredibly harmful" repercussions in Washington's future.
