Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said his committee will take up legislation to protect special counsel Robert Mueller despite opposition from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).

McConnell said he has no intention of bringing the bill up for a floor vote during an interview with Fox News on Tuesday. – READ MORE
