Trump Jr. commends Byrne’s question on Mueller findings — ‘What did Obama know and when did he know it?’

Donald Trump, Jr. believes that Congressman Bradley Byrne (AL-1) raised a good question Tuesday on the “Matt & Aunie Show” when he asked, “What did Obama know and when did he know it?”

Yellowhammer News contributor Jeff Poor first reported Byrne’s comments in an article for Breitbart.

In the Talk 99.5 interview, Byrne criticized the national mainstream media for its role in the Russian collusion investigation “fiasco.” He also emphasized that the whole ordeal began under the Obama administration, not with special counsel Robert Mueller.

“The investigation, remember – it didn’t start with Robert Mueller. It started in the summer of 2016 with this [Steele] dossier,” Byrne outlined. “And I have a question – what did the president know and when did he know it? Not President Trump, President Obama. What did Obama know and when did he know it in 2016, and what role did he and his administration play in starting this whole crazy thing? Because this whole crazy thing got started rolling way before President Trump came into office. And now I think the American people have a right to know, and I think Senator Graham is going to be looking into this over there in the Senate – how did we get into this fiasco to begin with?”
