Americans overwhelmingly want Trump to testify in Russia probe

By Tommy Christopher - September 12, 2018

Trump has a lot to answer for, and Americans want to hear those answers.

Trump’s lawyers are desperately try to keep him out of special counsel Robert Mueller’s hot seat — but the vast majority of Americans think Trump needs to explain himself under oath.

According to a new poll from CNN, 72 percent of Americans say Trump should testify under oath to Mueller, versus only 23 percent who say he should not.

That’s incredibly bad news for Trump, who has been waging a relentless campaign of attacks on Mueller and his investigation. But that campaign is clearly a complete failure, as public approval for the Mueller investigation has continued to climb.

In the CNN poll, 61 percent of Americans also said that the Russia investigation is “a serious matter that should be fully investigated.”
