ties to russia or manafort s ties to russia. remember, donald trump acquired a tremendous amount of knowledge, sensitive information, during the trump years about our national security apparatus and he s still somebody who could, through his dealings with the russians, potentially give them clues about our weaknesses, our vulnerabilities, and he still has a lot of obligations that have not been exposed, with regard to the russians. and his own aspirations with regard to financial ties, whether it s the trump tower in moscow or anything else. and possibly his own aspirations to become president of the united states again. congressman, good to see you. thanks for joining us this morning. democratic representative raja krishnamoorthi of illinois. we ll continue to dive into the january 6th investigation at the top of the hour with representative judy chu. she also isn t hiding anything
