Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., praised Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday after the Republican leader expressed confidence in special counsel Robert Mueller’s ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 elections.
Schumer called McConnell’s comments a “real shot across the bow” at the president after he called for him to listen to his legal team and allow the investigation to finish their work.
“I just heard what Sen. McConnell said about Mueller. I want to salute his statesmanship,” Schumer told reporters at his weekly press conference. “That was the right thing to do and I certainly hope President Trump is listening.”
“The president would create havoc, disaster, constitutional crisis in this country if he should try to do otherwise,” Schumer said. “I think Leader McConnell’s statement was a real shot across the bow and I hope the president heeds it.”
