STATEMENT BY SENATOR JOHN McCAIN ON RECENT REPORTS

Washington, D.C. ­– U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) released the following statement on recent news reports:

“Late last year, I received sensitive information that has since been made public. Upon examination of the contents, and unable to make a judgment about their accuracy, I delivered the information to the Director of the FBI. That has been the extent of my contact with the FBI or any other government agency regarding this issue.”

The responses he's getting on Twitter from Trump supporters are predictable.
