Senate's McConnell: 'Case closed' on Mueller probe, but top Democrat sees 'cover-up'

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday sought to slam the door on further investigations of President Donald Trump by declaring “case closed” after a two-year probe of Russia’s meddling in the 2016 elections, even as House Democrats’ war with the White House intensified.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders, when asked by ABC News whether McGahn would comply with the subpoena, said, “I don’t anticipate that that takes place.” Mueller detailed extensive contacts between Trump’s campaign and Moscow. His 448-page report also outlined 11 instances in which the president tried to impede the special counsel’s investigation, but avoided a conclusion on whether or not Trump obstructed justice.

“It’s sort of like Richard Nixon saying let’s move on at the height of the investigation of his wrongdoing,” Schumer said. House Democrats prepared to meet with Justice Department officials on Tuesday over Attorney General William Barr’s failure to release the full unredacted Mueller report as they prepared to cite him for contempt.

The administration is stonewalling congressional investigators while the president, who has denied any wrongdoing, vowed to fight all congressional subpoenas.

and your kentucky russian aluminum plant

Nope! Investigation goes on, 34 indictments so far

Putin's orders: Protect Trump at all cost.

Crap, Republicans can bend over & grab their ankles.

Cockroach Mitch, Taxes n ACA attack, done in the Dark, NO bipartisan input. 6 years of Obstructing Obama. Stealing a Supreme Court. seat.. A Pile of House Bills on his desk, so the GOP does not have to Vote in the Light. Blue Wave, no Blue Tsunami Congress 2020

Democrats are on a witch hunt vote the bums out

PuestoLoco It clearly is a cover up..Nixon × a bjillion

Dream on senatemajldr Exactly who are you to declare this? Stop acting like the Hand of the King. It’s very unattractive and UNAMERICAN.

senatemajldr Case closed my ass.

Bad hair and bad chins are no way to go through life gentlemen. Ugly to look at ugly in your souls, ugly in your actions. You two desperately need a trip to the groomers.

It's almost as if this hasn't happened before.

Dualism in more ways than just being dualism

Only in McConnell's mind!

Just because he said it doesn't make it so.

“Cover up” lol Amazing

The cover-up should be blatantly obvious to everyone but the most die-hard and willfully-blind trumper.

Lindsey is no longer a senator he gave his power to Trump.

Nope. Not even close. We, the American People, will decide when the case is closed.

So do American's who don't have brain damage from sucking down gallons of Trump Kool Aid.

Sanctioned Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska is investing $200,000,000 in an aluminum works in Mitch McConnell's home state of Kentucky...This is why he wants the Mueller investigation to go away! сделать Америку великой снова!

McConnell is a horrible human being. He should be in jail.

When did Senators begin deciding when investigations were over?

Lindsey Graham already started this TALKING POINT of 'it's all over NOTHING TO SEE HERE. It didn't work for Trump and it's NOT going to work for YOU McConnell.

Top Democrats have also been 'seeing' Russians everywhere for over 2 straight years. TrumpDerangementSyndrome
