Senator McConnell Declares "Case Closed" on Mueller Report, Senator Schumer Makes Nixon Comparison

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell speaks on the Senate floor about the findings of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Calling it "case closed," the Republican leader accusing Democrats of having a "meltdown" over the outcome and says that it's time to "move on." Minority Leader Chuck Schumer criticizes Senator McConnell's take, saying, "Let's move on, it's sort of like Richard Nixon saying let's move on at the height of the investigation of his wrongdoing. Of course he wants to move on." The Democratic leader also calls on Senator McConnell to take up election security legislation and toughen sanctions against the Russians. close
