Dem rep: Trump can’t deliver on promise because of Russia probe

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) on Tuesday said President Trump’s “involvement” with Russia prevented him from delivering on campaign promises he made to his voters.

During an appearance on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Swalwell noted that Trump recognized economic anxieties among Americans.

“Those people in the crowd, who are counting on these good jobs, you know, trade deals to be reformed, and health care to be given to them, they’re not getting any of that because it’s a mess in Washington,” Swalwell said.

“He’s paying the price now,” Swalwell said of Trump. “The deep involvement that they had in Russia is now coming home to roost. And the sad thing is that people actually were counting on him to deliver.”
