WASHINGTON Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Tuesday that probing the Trump administrations ties to Russia after theresignation of National Security Adviser Michael Flynn would be excessive, and that Republicans shouldnt be wasting time investigating members of their own party.

Paul, speaking on Fox NewsKilmeade and Friendsradio show, took issue with calls by fellow Senate Republicans, including Sen. John McCain (Ariz.),for a thorough investigation.

You know, I think that might be excessive, Paul said. I think that it looks like the president has handled the situation, and unless theres some kind of other evidence of malfeasance, this sounds like something that was internal White House politics, and it looks like the presidents handled it.

Paul suggested Republicans ought to be looking out for members of their party.

I just dont think its useful to be doing investigation after investigation, particularly of your own party, he said. Well never even get started with doing the things we need to do like repealing Obamacare if were spending our whole time having Republicans investigate Republicans. I think it makes no sense.

Flynn resigned Monday after it was revealed that he had contactwith Russias U.S. ambassador during the presidential transition about sanctions against the Kremlin, and misled the White House about those conversations. In a briefing Tuesday, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Flynns dismissal came down to an issue of trust.
