Warner: Why doesn't Trump understand it's illegal for other countries to interfere in US elections? [View all]
Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) said on Sunday that he doesn’t understand why President Trump doesn’t realize that it’s illegal for a foreign nation interfere in U.S. elections.
Warner during an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union" weighed in on a New York Times report that Donald Trump Jr. met with a Gulf emissary during the 2016 campaign who offered the help of the crown princes of the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia to have his father win the election.
“If the Times story is true, we now have at least a second and maybe a third nation that was trying to lean into this campaign,” Warner said.

“And I don’t understand what the president doesn’t get about the law that says if you have a foreign nation interfere in an American election, that’s illegal,” he added.
