Meanwhile, the GOP still looking at corruption and not seeing anything:

Senator Mike Lee Says Trump Fully Cooperating with Russia Investigation (goes to Huffington Post, more at the link):

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) said Sunday that President Donald Trump is “fully cooperating” with the FBI investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, despite Trump’s explicit acknowledgement that he fired FBI Director James Comey over the Russia probe.

“Regardless of recommendation I was going to fire Comey,” Trump told NBC’s Lester Holt last week. “And in fact when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made up story, it’s an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should have won.”

Trump went on to tell Holt that the Russia investigation “should have been over with a long time ago” and that Comey’s continued focus on Russia showed “he’s the wrong man for that position” as FBI director.

Lee, however, insisted that Trump was not interfering with the investigation. “As far as I’m aware, he is fully cooperating,” Lee told Fox, adding that Trump wants the investigation to proceed “wherever the facts may lead.”
