On Thursday, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas appeared on Newsmax's National Report with Marc Lotter and Emma Rechenberg. The discussion focused on the revelations from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's report, which claims that former President Obama was aware that the Russian misinformation narrative was false.

Senator Marshall expressed his belief that the Obama administration aimed to delegitimize the election and undermine President Trump's legacy. He stated, "Well, this is the true threat to Democracy. The smoking gun is very evident right here." He further elaborated on what he perceived as motivations behind these actions.

Marshall criticized media coverage of the issue, suggesting there is an effort to suppress the story. He remarked, "Yeah, I’m reminded of that Jack Nicholson saying, ‘mister, you can’t [handle] the truth…’ but look here’s the truth."

Regarding whether the Senate should remain in Washington during August recess to confirm nominees for President Trump, Marshall emphasized his support for staying in session. "Well, look, I certainly am out there publicly saying I want to stay," he said.

The interview highlights ongoing debates about political narratives and Senate responsibilities during recess periods.
