Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Saturday he doesn’t think Congress has any role in protecting special counsel Robert Mueller from potentially being fired by President Trump.
“I don’t hear much pressure to pass anything,” McConnell said in an interview with Hugh Hewitt. “There’s been no indication the president or the White House are not cooperating with the special counsel.”
“I think the view up here is, let him do his job,” McConnell continued.
McConnell’s comments come after the first indictments were handed down in Mueller’s investigation into Russian election interference last week.
