Top House Judiciary Dem says Trump likely bows down to Putin because ‘Kremlin has leverage over him’

Appearing on Meet the Press, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) -- who will like takeover as chair of the House Judiciary Committee -- said revelations by President Donald Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen, indicate that he is deeply in the pocket of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Speaking with NBC host Chuck Todd, Nadler called out Trump for his continuous lies above contacts and business deals with the Russians.

"The fact that he was lying to the American people about doing business in Russia, and that the Kremlin knew he was lying, gave the Kremlin a hold over him," Nadler explained. "And one question we have now is does the Kremlin still have a hold over him because of other lies they know about?"

"One question has always been why was the president so obsequious to Putin from the beginning of the campaign up to the present day?" he added. "And it may be that it’s because the Kremlin has leverage over the president, which is a terrible thing if true."
