Sen. Warren: John Lewis has earned right to question President-elect Trump

BOSTON — U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren says Rep. John Lewis has earned the right to raise questions about the legitimacy of Donald Trump's election.

The Massachusetts Democrat said Lewis put his life on the line during the civil rights movement while Trump "hasn't put his life on the line for anyone except Donald Trump."

Warren said U.S. intelligence agencies have raised questions about Russian interference in the election. She said those questions must be answered to find out exactly what Russia did.

The Georgia Democrat said he doesn't consider Trump a "legitimate president," blaming Russia for helping him win the White House.

The Republican president-elect criticized Lewis, tweeting out "All talk, talk, talk - no action or results."

Warren made her comments Monday at a Martin Luther King Jr. breakfast in Boston.
