McConnell Avoids Defending Trump on Ukraine

When asked if President Trump acted appropriately in his handling of Ukraine, CNN notes Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell sidestepped the question: “Like I said we’ll deal with the matter when it comes to the House as we’re supposed to.”

But he added: “I can’t imagine a scenario under which 67 members of the senate would remove a president from office in the middle of a presidential election… We will take it up, because we have no choice.”
