Interview with Texas Senator John Cornyn on Constitutional Crisis and Legislative Challenges

Published | Video Starts at 02:07

Well, that's why we've asked Pam Bodney, the attorney general, to look into this, to see what federal laws have been violated. And the ones you mentioned makes sense to me. Certainly, we need to ask, have these been violated? But Congress's responsibility is actually bigger than just that. It is to prove, provide oversight and to make sure that there's more transparency for future presidents. So we understand how this happened and how can we prevent it from happening again? Well, I for one, will take our side of this table and I will say from our side, the media has to be willing to tell the truth. (02:07–02:18)
