McConnell: Mueller needs 'no protection' from TrumpThe Hill, Jan 30, 2018, Jordain Carney
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday shot down taking up legislation to block the Trump administration from unilaterally firing Robert Mueller, saying the special counsel isn't under threat.
"My understanding is there's no effort underway to undermine or to remove the special counsel. Therefore, I don't see the need to bring up legislation to protect someone who appears to need no protection," McConnell told reporters.
