Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) stated on Sunday that while he is sure that his Democratic primary opponent Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) is not a being groomed by the Russians as previously suggested, be still believes that President Donald Trump is a “Russian asset.”

“I think the focus has to be on Donald Trump,” O’Rourke told MSNBC host Ayman Mohyeldin. “If we are talking about the country of Russia, there is a Russian asset in the White House right now. We know – and we all saw it in broad daylight, candidate Trump inviting [Russian President] Vladimir Putin to invade and be involved in our elections, which he did. And then we saw President Trump, after he had been sworn in on that stage in Helsinki, Finland, defending Vladimir Putin, instead of our intelligence community.”
