Published



Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., on Wednesday said he would advise President Trump not to blame Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., after an Islamic State-inspired attack in New York killed eight people and injured 12 more.

“There’s definitely a role for the president to play as far as leadership,” King told CNN. “And the president says that we should have more vetting going forward, I can understand that, but I would not be blaming anyone.”
