It’s sure that there shall be extra of those types of lies repeated by Republicans on the Sunday information exhibits.
Home Republicans can even most likely begin an ‘investigation’ into the $6 billion. Democrats ought to welcome such an investigation as a result of it is going to present the world that Trump and his social gathering are mendacity.
