With a Republican in Office, Wash Post Is Ready to Ask Questions

[See NewsBusters for more.] Washington Post political reporter Ed O’Keefe appeared on CBS This Morning, Friday, to lobby for more investigations into Jeff Sessions and Donald Trump’s ties to Russia. With a Republican in the White House, the Post suddenly has a lot of questions. Co-host Norah O’Donnell set up the curiosity by wondering, “If there was nothing improper or nefarious about these meetings [with Russian officials], why, perhaps, the effort to conceal them?” O’Keefe lobbied, “That’s what we want to know, frankly.” He then suggested that, if only, Trump would give a little on Russia details, the whole thing might die down: “If they want to move on to changing the health care laws, revamping the tax system, getting a Supreme Court nominee with no problems, that they would try to get this out as quickly as possible.”
