Schumer: 'If there was ever a time when circumstances warranted a special prosecutor, it is right now'

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., continued Democratic calls for a special prosecutor to takeover and lead the investigation into Russian involvement and their potential ties to President Trump.

The Senate Democratic leader said on the Senate floor Wednesday morning that an independent investigation into possible ties between Trump and Russia is needed now more than ever and that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein should move the investigation out of the hands of the administration.
