Richard Painter, President George W. Bush’s former ethics lawyer, said late Friday he has major concerns over the Trump administration’s ties to Russia.
In an interview with CNN’s Don Lemon, Painter spoke about reports that former national security advisor Flynn was working for foreign agents while also working for the American government.
“It makes no sense to run a government this way,” Painter said. “This is a completely chaotic situation, and then Gen. Flynn lied about his contacts with the Russians, lied to the vice president, and we’ve had the attorney general in testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee say he did not contact the Russians when he had contacts with the Russians.”
“People are not being honest about their foreign contacts, and talk about this ‘deep state theory’ as if there are somehow Obama moles in the government under the Trump administration,” Painter continued.
“It’s the KGB agents running around the West Wing or the national security council.”
Lemon appeared shocked by Painter’s language saying “Wow, wow! That is a pretty strong — that’s pretty strong, Richard.”
