Sen. Mike Lee heaped praise on President Donald Trump on Saturday for being “more respectful and more restrained in his exercise of his commander-in-chief power than any other president in my lifetime.”
“He has made us look stronger through the restraint of power, not through the excessive abuse of it. And I applaud him for that,” Lee, R-Utah, said.
But that doesn’t mean the senator is backing down from his blistering criticism of a briefing that Trump administration officials gave senators about the ongoing tensions in Iran. And Lee is continuing to support Democratic Sen.
