GOP consultant and fired-up former Trump campaign aide Michael Caputo raged at the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday, telling members "God damn you to hell" during a reported three-hour interview in the panel's Russia probe, the Washington Examiner reported.
In Caputo's closing statement, which the Examiner said it obtained, he said the panel's investigation "forced" his family out of their home and "crushed" his children because of mounting legal costs related to the probe.
"Today, I can't possibly pay the attendant legal costs and live near my aging father, raising my kids where I grew up," Caputo said, the Examiner reported. "Your investigation and others into the allegations of Trump campaign collusion with Russia are costing my family a great deal of money — more than $125,000 — and making a visceral impact on my children."
Caputo accused members of the Senate Intelligence Committee of working together and contributing to the "swamp" President Donald Trump so often derided during his campaign, the Examiner reported.
He argued Daniel Jones, a former Senate Intelligence staffer to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., was one of two sources in a McClatchy report about Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen — a report Cohen denies.
"But who is McClatchy's second source?" Caputo asked. "It couldn't be Dan; he was the first source . . . So, who could it be — perhaps one of his former Senate Intelligence colleagues? I mean, you're all in this together. You're the swamp."
He also called for an "investigation of the investigators" and said he wanted to know who was "coordinating this attack on President Donald Trump."
"Forget about all the death threats against my family," Caputo said, the Examiner reported. "I want to know who cost us so much money, who crushed our kids, who forced us out of our home, all because you lost an election.
"I want to know because God damn you to hell."
