The soon-to-be-retiring senator is stirring things up on Capitol Hill as he set out to protect Special Counsel Robert Mueller by refusing to vote for the president’s judicial picks until legislation moves forward.

On CNN, Flake reiterated the need to protect the special council’s office, adding that confirming judges is also important, but the legislation on Mueller “has to be priority now.”
