"If I were the President, I would be welcoming this investigation", Rubio said on CBS News' "Face the Nation". He said a Friday tweet from Trump was specifically directed at a story in The Washington Post about the expanding probe into Russia's election meddling.
They went back and forth for a while: Sekulow blasted the Post's use of using sources on background, while Tapper kept pointing at Trump's confusing tweet.
Sen. Marco Rubio says it's best for the country to let the FBI's investigation into Russian Federation meddling in the 2016 presidential election take its course, and the Florida Republican tells CNN's "State of the Union" that's what he'd advise President Donald Trump.
When Wallace said Sekulow did not appear to know whether Trump is under investigation for obstruction of justice, Sekulow sarcastically suggested that he had not been informed that special prosecutor Robert Mueller was investigating the president. "The best thing that could happen for the president, and the country, is a full and credible investigation".
Both Coats and Rogers declined before the Senate intelligence committee earlier this month to answer questions about their conversations with Trump, but both said they had never felt urged by Trump to intervene in the Russian Federation probes.
"So the president responds - I want to be crystal clear here". It also sent a letter to Comey asking for any notes or memos.
"So the president said "I am under investigation" even though he's isn't under investigation?"
He spoke on ABC's "This Week".

It was only fitting that Koepka left Erin Hills with yet another record matched or broken. "Absolutely, " he said with a laugh. And to do it on Father's Day, it's pretty neat. "I didn t exactly get my dad a card, so this works".
Sekulow appeared on several political talk shows on Sunday to argue that contrary to the president's tweet, the Trump team did not know if the president was under investigation by Mueller.
"That tweet was in response to a Washington Post story that ran with five unnamed sources", Sekulow said in an interview that aired Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union".
"So here's what you have: the president issued that tweet, that social media statement, based on a fake report, a report with no documented sources, from "The Washington Post", he said".
His morning missive apparently referred to Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general whose role leading the federal investigation has become increasingly complicated. None indicated the context Sekulow said was intended.
"The FBI doesn't sit around all day and read tweets".
He continued by saying: "Many new jobs, high business enthusiasm.massive regulation cuts, 36 new legislative bills signed, great new S.C.Justice, and Infrastructure, Healthcare and Tax Cuts in works!"
"Why does the president seem, act as if he is so concerned about this investigation if he did nothing wrong?"
