In May 2017, the FBI opened an inquiry into whether Donald Trump was working on behalf of Russia, the New York Times has reported. “Funny thing about James Comey,” Trump said. Sanders continued: “Unlike President Obama, who let Russia and other foreign adversaries push America around, President Trump has actually been tough on Russia.” Trump echoed those sentiments on Saturday.

Newly in control of the House of Representatives, Democrats have vowed to further scrutinize Trump’s Russia ties.
