Hoyer Discusses Health Care and the Russia Investigation with CNN's Erin Burnett

“[President Trump] looked at the American people in the eye, when he talked to the Joint Session of Congress, and said I want to assure you that I’m going to cover everybody with insurance. He didn't say I’m going to have access to insurance. He said I’m going to cover everybody with insurance at a lower cost and better quality. If he has such a bill he ought to submit it to the Congress of the United States. Very frankly, I’ve told people if he has such a bill and it does what he says, I may well support it. But I haven’t heard anything from the White House about such a bill. And, frankly, I haven't heard anything from my Republican colleagues in the House that they have such a bill.”

“I think Mr. Nunes has simply disqualified himself, and many of his Republican colleagues think that, as well. Certainly, Senator McCain said that the credibility had been undermined. Senator Graham said the same thing. And Walter Jones, a Republican in the House of Representatives, gave the same view. And I think that's accurate. Whatever Mr. Nunes thought he was doing… we don't know exactly what he did, but clearly he has said enough, done enough, and acted as an advocate of the President's position, rather than as a dispassionate person who could oversee a fair inquiry that would have credibility with the American people.”
