After hearing former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates’ testimony, Sen. Chris Murphy said Tuesday that he’s worried there are other White House personnel who have also been compromised.
Mr. Murphy said they need to know if there are “other Michael Flynns” that the White House was warned about but didn’t take any action toward. Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn was the main topic of Ms. Yates’ testimony Monday, who said she warned the White House of Mr. Flynn’s Russian ties. Mr. Flynn was later dismissed when his payments from Russian groups became public.
“Are we just scratching the surface of those in the White House who have been knowingly compromised?” Mr. Murphy, Connecticut Democrat, asked on MSNBC.
He also said that he needs more information before determining whether Mr. Flynn should be granted immunity.
“I think it’s hard for me to know that, in terms of what he may be offering, of collusion with the Russian government,” Mr. Murphy said.
Mr. Murphy is up for re-election in 2018 and has been a rumored presidential candidate for the Democrats.
