Watergate Reporter On Trump-Russia: ‘There’s A Coverup Going on’
The legendary journalist who reported the Watergate scandal for The Washington Post, said on Wednesday that he believes there is a “coverup going on.”
During a segment discussing the revelation that the FBI has evidence of collusion between the Trump associates and Russian operatives, Bernstein said, “Well I’ve been saying for a while that there’s a coverup going on here.”
“The coverup is among those who worked in the Trump campaign and associates of Trump and it’s now becoming much more clear what it is that they have been concealing which are these contacts, which revolve around leaked emails from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s account.”
And when discussing the connections to Watergate Bernstein said, “The heroes of Watergate were really Republicans, they were Republicans in the House and the Senate who wanted this investigated to the bottom: What did the president know and when did he know it.”
“That’s what we’re not seeing here. We’re not seeing it from the Republicans on the Hill who are consumed by supposedly looking for leaks.”
