WASHINGTON – Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declared Tuesday that special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference is over, despite House Democrats pursuing more information.
“Case closed,” McConnell, R-Ky., said on the Senate floor about Mueller’s key finding that nobody from President Donald Trump’s campaign conspired with Russians to influence the election.
McConnell compared Democratic complaints over the need to continue the 22-month investigation to the movie “Groundhog Day,” where the protagonist repeats the same day repetitively. He also called efforts for continued investigation “unhinged partisanship” that would keep the country divided.
“This investigation went on for two years,” McConnell said. “It’s finally over.”
But Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.
