Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee said President Trump’s removal of FBI Director James Comey “raises massive questions,” given the FBI’s investigation into Russian interference in the presidential campaign.

“While the White House is under investigation by the FBI, firing the head of the FBI raises massive questions, and the Senate should get to the bottom of it,” Whitehouse said in a statement. “America needs to have confidence that the Department of Justice will fill its traditional role of following the facts fearlessly, and prosecuting whomever has violated the law no matter the office they hold.”
