Rep.Jamie Raskin, D-Md., called concerns that the incoming Democratic Congress will focus too much time investigating the Trump administration a media "narrative" on Monday.During an interview on "CNN News Central," host Brianna Keilar noted that Adam Hamilton, a Democrat recently elected to the U.S.

Senate, said that he doesn't "want to spend the next two years in trials" against the Trump administration after Democrats regain control of the House and the Senate."This is something that we're hearing from a lot of those Democrats who did come in," Keilar said.‘LAWYER UP’: DEMS IMMEDIATELY PUT TRUMP ON NOTICE AMID REPUBLICANS' MIDTERM BLOODBATHIncoming Kansas Sen.Adam Hamilton told PBS that he was concerned Congress would spend the next two years going after President Donald Trump rather than focusing on Americans.

So this is what he said.So is he, are other Democrats going to be disappointed by the amount of time spent on investigations?" Keilar said.Raskin answered, "No, because we have lots of committees.

We have got a brilliant new class of Democratic representatives and senators coming in, and we're going to be able to do it all.We're going to be able to get Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, health insurance back to the American people.

Millions of people have been thrown off of their health plans because of the actions of the Trump administration and their wretched, hideous bill.We're going to be able to restore people's benefits to food in the SNAP program."CRENSHAW, RASKIN SHOUT EACH OTHER DOWN IN HEATED POST-MIDTERM DEBATERep.
