WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and co-author of the Special Counsel Independence and Integrity Act, released the following statement.
“I wish I shared Senator McConnell’s belief that the President won’t fire or interfere with Special Counsel Mueller, but I don’t,” said Senator Coons. “We should vote on the bipartisan legislation I’ve authored with Senators Tillis, Graham, and Booker that would ensure Robert Mueller can complete his work without interference because inaction now will be incredibly costly if President Trump does what he’s reportedly tried to do several times already. I would remind Senator McConnell of the old saying that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. That’s certainly true in this case.”
