Jeffries: Most Dems I Work With ‘Understand’ Russia Casts A ‘Cloud of Illegitimacy’ Over WH

On Monday’s broadcast of “CNN Newsroom,” Representative Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said the majority of Democrats he works with “understand” there is a “cloud of illegitimacy” over the White House due to the possibility of collusion with Russia.

Jeffries said, “Well, the overall majority of Democrats that I work with understand that there’s a cloud of illegitimacy that’s hanging over the White House as a result of the possibility that there was improper or illegal collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. But we have a special prosecutor.”

Jeffries added that we should allow Robert Mueller’s investigation to “take shape” while dealing “aggressively with the economic problems facing the American people.”
