Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Wednesday that President Trump's attack on "partisan investigations" during his State of the Union address shows he has "something to hide." Schumer made the remark during an appearance on CNN, adding: "If he had nothing to hide, he'd just shrug his shoulders and let these investigations go forward. He's afraid of them." The Hill notes that Schumer's "comments came as House Democrats, who regained control of the lower chamber in November's midterm elections, prepare to jump-start several investigations into the president and the administration."
In an interview with 'CBS This Morning,' Schumer further said: "The bottom line is that we are as a country, we've always had Congress do oversight over the executive branch. That's how the Founding Fathers set it up." During his Tuesday night address, Trump commented: "An economic miracle is taking place in the United States, and the only thing that can stop it are foolish wars, politics, or ridiculous partisan investigations."
