Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said Tuesday that he didn't think it would be "useful" to investigate conversations between former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and a Russian ambassador that led to Flynn's resignation.
"I think that might be excessive," Paul said in an interview with "Kilmeade and Friends" first surfaced by CNN's KFILE.
Paul said that Republicans will "never even get started" with major policy changes like repealing Obamacare if they are focused on investigating their colleagues.
"I just don't think it's useful to be doing investigation after investigation, particularly of your own party," Paul said. "I think it makes no sense." He said that President Donald Trump has apparently "handled the situation," unless there is further evidence of wrongdoing on Flynn's part.
