President Trump’s stated willingness to accept information on an election rival from foreign governments drew a strong reaction from Democratic presidential candidates.
President Trump's comment that he would accept information on a political rival from a foreign government drew condemnation from Democratic presidential contenders, among others.
Trump, in an interview with ABC News on Wednesday, was asked whether his son Donald Trump Jr. should have contacted the FBI after receiving an email promising information on Trump’s 2016 rival, Hillary Clinton. The response from other Democratic presidential candidates was also swift. Rep. Tim Ryan of Ohio wrote, “This is sad and cynical. To think every politician would accept research from a sworn enemy shows how demented and amoral this President is. Think Washington or Jefferson or Eisenhower or Reagan would say this. Shameful.”
Swalwell, of Dublin, who sits on the House Judiciary Committee, called the president’s admission “lawless.”
