Rep. Banks: GOP Must 'Continue to Support' Mueller Probe

Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., said Monday that he and his colleagues must honor their pledge to support special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian election interference.

On Monday, President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort was indicted on 12 counts, along with his business partner Rick Gates. 

Bank's fellow Republican, House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, said on "Fox News Sunday" that he "would encourage my Republican friends — give the guy a chance to do his job… the result will be known by the facts, by what he uncovers. The personalities involved are much less important to me than the underlying facts. So, I would — I would say give the guy a chance to do his job."
