McConnell is set to tear into congressional Democrats who continue to probe President Trump’s potential efforts to obstruct special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the 2016 presidential election, claiming the “case is closed”
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday tore into congressional Democrats who continue to probe President Trump’s potential efforts to obstruct special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the 2016 presidential election, claiming the “case is closed.”
McConnell called on Democrats to"stop endlessly litigating a two-year old election result" and for an end to what he called a"Groundhog Day spectacle." The Mueller report, released last month, did not find that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia to influence the election. It left open the question of obstruction of justice by Trump, citing among other things a Justice Department memo that precludes bringing an indictment against a sitting president. Attorney General William Barr and Justice Department leadership made the decision not to bring charges against Trump.
