Donald Trump says Dems ‘have something’ on old foe Mitch McConnellBy Patrick Reilly

Former President Donald Trump said he thinks that Democrats “have something” on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and blamed him for not doing enough to fight back against purported “election interference” after he was slapped with another federal indictment this week.
Trump, the leading GOP presidential candidate, has repeatedly claimed the trio of indictments he’s been handed since March are attempts by the Justice Department to interfere in the 2024 presidential election
Trump told the crowd at the South Carolina Republican Party’s 56th Annual Silver Elephant Gala on Saturday night that McConnell (R-Ky.) and other Republican senators need to step up their fight against the DOJ
“These guys, what they’re doing with the election interference and the Senate has to step up and do something. The House is doing a lot of things,” Trump said. “The Senate under, perhaps the worst leader in the history of the country running the senate, Mitch McConnell has to stand up and do something.
“And you [South Carolina] have some good ones, and that guy right there,” he said pointing at South Carolina Sen. Lindsay Graham.
“He’s working hard but they need a lot of other people and to stop handing out money every time,” he added, again blaming McConnell for paving the way for the Democrats’ $1.7 billion spending deal passed in September.
