Schumer Calls On GOP To Cancel ‘Conspiracy' Hearings On Origins Of Trump-Russia Probe
Trying to stop the truth
[Daily Caller] Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Friday called on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to cancel a hearing next week for Rod Rosenstein, the former deputy attorney general who launched the special counsel's investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Schumer's request is a far cry from earlier in the Trump administration, when he called for public hearings for Trump associates regarding possible links to the Russian government.

Schumer accused Republicans of holding the Rosenstein hearing to "chase wild conspiracy theories" in order to help President Donald Trump's re-election campaign.

"With our country in crisis, Senate Republicans have become a conspiracy caucus," Schumer wrote in a letter to his fellow Democrats on Friday. "Leader McConnell should instruct these committees to cancel these conspiracy hearings."

Like many congressional Democrats, Schumer advanced the now-debunked conspiracy theory that the Trump campaign colluded with the Kremlin to influence the 2016 election.

"On guns and on Russian collusion investigation, the silence of my Republican Senate colleagues is deafening," he tweeted on Feb. 18, 2018.

Since then, the special counsel released a report that found no evidence that any Trump associates conspired with Russia to influence the election.

Rosenstein will testify on June 3 before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
