Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy, Conn., said Thursday that the New York Times anonymous op-ed from a senior Trump administration official might end up making President Trump more paranoid.

“I’m not sure how [the NYT op-ed] actually solves the problem that this person is identifying,” Murphy told CNN Thursday morning. “Frankly if you’re concerned about the stability of the president and the stability of the nation, I’m not sure why you would prick him in the side, make him even more paranoid, and end up perhaps having a purge inside the White House.”
