During an appearance on CNN's State of the Union this weekend, Jones said that Congress need to stop focusing on the many allegations of sexual misconduct against the president.
''People had an opportunity to judge before that election," the newly elected senator said. "I think we need to move on and not get distracted by those issues. We'll see how things go."
