GOP Rep. On Russia Controversy: Get The Trump Children Out Of White House

In an interview with a local TV station, Rep. Bill Flores (R-TX) said he has “issues” with the meeting that Donald Trump Jr. held with a Kremlin-linked lawyer amid promises that she would provide damaging information about Hillary Clinton as part of a Russian government effort to help his father’s campaign.

As a result, Flores said the best thing President Trump could do is get his kids out of the White House.

“It’s a meeting that should not have taken place. I think he thought he was looking out for his father’s best interest, but at first flush it doesn’t look like it was appropriate action,” he told KBTX this week. “I’m going out on a limb here, but I would say that I think it would be in the President’s best interest if he removed all of his children from the White House. Not only Donald Trump, but Ivanka and Jared Kushner.”

Flores said that he wishes President Donald Trump “would get them out of the way” so that the administration could “have a professional staff” and focus on policy issues.

  1. Sorry, Congressman. Too little, too late.

    The only “professional” staff trump would hire (or get to work for him) would provide golden showers.

  3. This is like saying Waylon Flowers should step away from Madame or Edgar Bergin from Charlie McCarthy, Paul Winchell from Jerry Mahoney…

  4. Yeah, uhuh, THAT’s the biggest problem at 1600
