Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn said he backs a fellow GOP senator’s request for an investigation into Donald Trump Jr. Cornyn was defeated in a primary runoff by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton after President Donald Trump endorsed Paxton. Punchbowl News congressional reporter Laura Weiss noted that Cornyn serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee and that President Trump helped oust him in his primary.
Weiss wrote that Cornyn “joins call for an investigation & issuing subpoena to Donald Trump Jr.,” quoting the Texas senator as saying, “I would support Senator Curtis’ request.” Mediaite contacted Cornyn to confirm the account. He replied, “True.”
