Eric Swalwell: Trump Campaign Not Owed Apology for Spying

Appearing Friday on the Fox News Channel, 2020 Democrat presidential candidate Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) argued the 2016 Trump campaign is not owed an apology for being surveilled by the FBI under the Obama administration.

JULIE BANDERAS: Kellyanne Conway has suggested that the Democrats owe President Trump an apology… Will Democrats apologize?

REP. ERIC SWALWELL: I’ll never apologize for loving our country so much that I don’t think any campaign, transition or president should draw as close to the Russians and welcome their support and never tell law enforcement while they were seeking to support them. I’ll always stand on our side, rather than Russia’s, and I just wish the president would too.

BANDERAS: But do you not believe that there should be an apology when it comes to the spying? And I understand the Democrats don’t like that word coming out of William Barr’s mouth, but the bottom line is if there was spying on a presidential campaign, that is a big deal. And apparently, President Obama knew about the spying. You don’t think that merits an apology?

SWALWELL: No, because I read the first 200 pages of volume one in the Mueller report and it laid out a multiplicity of contacts between the Trump campaign and Russians, and I ask if all this happens again in the 2020 campaign, do we believe our intelligence community should do nothing or say we’re just going to allow campaigns to work with foreign adversaries? They had a right to investigate.

Trump Challenger Bill Weld 'Horrified' By Mueller Report, But Impeachment Not On The Table

(WASHINGTON) — The only Republican currently running against President Donald Trump said Friday he was “horrified” by special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, but he can’t back impeachment for “political reasons.”

“When we finally got to read the report I was horrified by it,” former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld said told ABC News’ Devin Dwyer on The Briefing Room on Friday. “Despite the conclusions of no conspiracy with the Russians, there’s a whole lot in there about obstruction of justice … it’s rough stuff.” Weld said.

When asked if impeachment should be on the table given the contents of the Mueller report, Weld said he didn’t think it was the right move politically.

“I really don’t think so,” he said. “I’ll tell you why, it’s not for legal reasons it’s for political reasons. The House could easily — there’s more than enough evidence, more than there was against President Nixon, and I worked on that case.”

“But the Republicans control the Senate so it’s very unlikely that he would ever be convicted in the Senate where you need a two thirds vote,” the former governor added. “So I can understand why Steny Hoyer said impeachment is not a good idea, for political reasons.”

Weld launched his long shot challenge against Trump for the Republican nomination on Monday, telling ABC News just after he made his campaign official: “I’d be ashamed of myself if hadn’t raised my hand and said count me in.”

Trump vetoes congressional resolution on US role in Yemen

WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump vetoed a congressional resolution seeking to end US involvement in the Saudi-led war in Yemen.

“This resolution is an unnecessary, dangerous attempt to weaken my constitutional authorities, endangering the lives of American citizens and brave service members, both today and in the future,” Trump wrote to the US Congress.

This was the US president’s second veto since he took office in January 2017.

Congress took issue with US involvement in a war that has cost thousands of civilian lives. The United States has supported the Saudi-led coalition with billions of dollars’ worth of arms to fight Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. The bill passed both the Republican-led Senate and the Democrat-led House.

Supporters of the resolution said Trump needed explicit permission from Congress to engage in the war but Trump argued the resolution was unnecessary because the United States is not directly involved in hostilities with Yemen, aside from counterterrorism efforts against al-Qaeda.

Efforts to support Saudi Arabia through intelligence sharing or logistics support fall under “the president’s constitutional power as commander-in-chief” and have not included US military personnel, Trump wrote.

Response from the Democrats was swift:

“The conflict in Yemen is a horrific humanitarian crisis that challenges the conscience of the entire world,” wrote House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat from California. “Yet the president has cynically chosen to contravene a bipartisan, bicameral vote of the Congress and perpetuate America’s shameful involvement in this heartbreaking crisis.”

However, she did not call for a veto override. Based on previous votes — 247-175 in the House of Representatives and 54-46 in the Senate — there aren’t enough votes for an override. It would take a two-thirds majority in both houses to do that.

“This conflict must end now,” Pelosi wrote. “The House of Representatives calls on the president to put peace before politics and work with us to advance an enduring solution to end this crisis and save lives.”

The United States has supported Saudi Arabia to keep 80,000 Americans in the region safe, Trump wrote.

“The conflict in Yemen represents a ‘cheap’ and inexpensive way for Iran to cause trouble for the United States and for our ally, Saudi Arabia,” Trump wrote.

He called the resolution “dangerous,” saying it “could endanger our service members by impairing their ability to efficiently and effectively conduct military engagements and to withdraw in an orderly manner at the appropriate time.”

He blamed the Senate for not filling “key diplomatic positions” to help negotiate a UN-led peace process.

“The Saudi-led war in Yemen is inhumane,” wrote US Senator Chuck Schumer, a Democrat representing New York and the Senate minority leader, on social media. “So is President @realDonaldTrump’s veto. Why won’t he hold Saudi Arabia accountable for its role in the devastation and humanitarian disaster?”

Eliot Engel, chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and a Democrat from New York, said he would work with the Houthi, Saudi, Emirati and Yemeni governments to stick with the UN-led peace process efforts.

“The president’s veto shows his contempt for a bipartisan majority of Congress, for the people Congress represents, for Congress’s war powers established in the constitution and for the American values embodied in this resolution,” Engel said in a statement. “This veto sends a message that the administration lacks commitment to a political solution to the catastrophic conflict and humanitarian crisis in Yemen.”

US Senator Bernie Sanders, a Democrat from Vermont who wrote the Senate version of the bill, wrote on social media: “I am disappointed, but not surprised, that Trump has rejected the bipartisan resolution to end US involvement in the horrific war in Yemen.”
