(CNN) – The Senate’s top Democrat, Chuck Schumer, cautioned President Donald Trump from trying to interfere in Congress’ investigations of Russian meddling into the US election last year, saying it would be “possibly criminal,” and encouraged investigators to follow the “money trail.”

“It’s a serious investigation. They ought to follow every lead. If the White House tried to interfere, that obviously would be very, very serious and possibly criminal,” the New York Democrat told CNN’s Manu Raju in a wide-ranging interview Friday. “I hope they don’t.”

Schumer also said that he would like to hear Attorney General Jeff Sessions testify before Senate Russia investigators, and also highlighted lead Democrat on the investigation, Virginia Sen. Mark Warner.

“Well, I have some faith in Mark Warner, and so far, Mark has done things, you know, gotten the things we’ve needed. It’s just taken a very long time,” Schumer said Friday.

7. Keep an eye on news regarding fired AG Sally Yates.

Her testimony is bound to be a spark.

Thank you Senator Schumer, for having the courage to say this!

9. Shot across the bow...

But Trump is stupid enough to go full steam ahead. I'm sure there has already been massive efforts to interfere and I'm sure it will continue. Laws mean nothing to these people.

10. Im sure congressional republicans and the DOJ will be eager to bring charges.

11. "Well, I have some faith in Mark Warner" .... Only SOME faith ? Odd comment when you see it written.

12. Enough with the "possibly" or "allegedly " bullshit. Call it what it is!
