Republican senator takes fire over subpoena of Trump Jr.

Republicans lashed out Thursday at fellow GOP Sen. Richard Burr for his committee’s subpoena of President Donald Trump’s son, a move that suggested the Russia investigation is not “case closed,” as some in the party insisted. Trump said he was “very surprised” at the move.

The Senate intelligence committee called on Donald Trump Jr. to answer questions about his testimony to the panel in 2017 as part of its investigation into Russian election interference.

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul tweeted that Burr “didn’t get the memo” that the case was closed. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz tweeted, “It’s time to move on & focus on issues Americans care about.”
