McConnell: Trump shouldn't worry about Trump Jr. subpoena
By Jordain Carney - 05/10/19 09:44 AM EDT
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Friday tried to tamp down the political backlash over the Senate Intelligence Committee's decision to subpoena Donald Trump Jr., urging the president "not to worry."
"I know the president's upset about that, but I think he ought not to worry about it. The chairman of the Intelligence Committee has already said the committee when it reports will find no collusion," McConnell told WHAS, a Kentucky radio station.
McConnell's comments come after Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr's decision, in conjunction with Vice Chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.), to subpoena Trump Jr. sparked intense division among Senate Republicans. Several—including Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), who is up for reelection—were critical of Burr on Thursday.
