He should be worried, yes, Anderson. If he were the only one who had gone to Moscow during the campaign and had talked to the Russian ambassador during the transition period and promised that sanctions were going to go away, maybe you could call this a coincidence, but now that we see a multiplicity of other people on the Trump campaign with undisclosed Russian contacts, the jig is up. We are on to this. And it's not going to get any better. And the best thing he and his son can do is just to be truthful and forthcoming about what their contacts were and what the president knew.
