Senate panel approves bill to shield Mueller from Trump firing


(Worthy News) – The Senate Judiciary Committee approved legislation Thursday that would protect Robert Mueller’s job, a bipartisan rebuke that came hours after President Donald Trump said he may try to influence the special counsel’s Russia probe.

The measure still faces stiff opposition from the White House and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who has said he would not bring it to a vote in the full Senate. But the 14-7 committee vote indicates a growing appetite among GOP senators to pushing back against Trump as the president flirts with further involvement in the investigation of his campaign’s ties to Russia and potential obstruction of justice.

Every committee Democrat backed the bill, alongside four Republicans: Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Jeff Flake of Arizona. The vote followed an early Thursday warning by Trump that he might try to play a more direct role in the DOJ’s inquiry. [ Source: Politico (Read More…) ]
