Trump sought the help of a humble sea turtle to end the Russia investigation



Over the summer, President Donald Trump reportedly urged the Republican chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee to close their inquiry into Russia.

“It was something along the lines of, ‘I hope you can conclude this as quickly as possible,’” Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), the committee’s chairman, told the New York Times.

Burr told Trump they’d close the investigation “when we have exhausted everybody we need to talk to, we will finish.”

Trump also reportedly urged Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) to terminate the probe “swiftly.”
