Toward the finish of this, as you and I have discussed some time recently, a great deal of Americans will state, 'did you ask this individual this inquiry?' We will ensure the majority of that gets out."
Warner wouldn't state regardless of whether Flynn and his child have been helpful with their examination.
"The way we get the sort of participation with the witnesses is, to be honest, to not share the sort of week by week box score of who we've seen and who we've not seen," he said. "We have a great deal of people that we have seen. A greater number of people than we have to. What's more, end of the day, what we owe the American individuals is reality and above all, how we ensure that we don't have an outside power and a remote power like Russia intercede again in our decisions."
