“Republican lawmakers warned President Trump on Sunday not to fire Robert Mueller, but showed little sense of urgency to advance long-stalled legislation to protect the special counsel despite a report that Mr. Trump had tried to remove him last June,” the New York Times reports.
Said House majority leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA): “I don’t think there’s a need for legislation right now to protect Mueller. Right now there’s not an issue. So why create one when there isn’t a place for it?”
