The GOP senator's comments come as the Trump administration grapples with series of bombshell stories surrounding the investigation into possible coordination between Trump's campaign and Russia during the 2016 presidential election.

The Washington Post reported Monday that Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian diplomats during a May 10 meeting at the White House. Trump later defended the disclosure, saying he shared "facts" with the Russians amid the mutual fight against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

During that meeting with Russian officials, The New York Times reported Friday, Trump also called former FBI Director James Comey "crazy" and "a real nut job."

"I faced great pressure because of Russia. Now that's taken off," Trump reportedly told Russian officials in the Oval Office.

Foreign Policy reported that the White House is planning on how best to respond to the report he shared classified information with the Russians.
