Trump says he won’t shutdown Russia probe

In what will likely lead to a sigh of relief from Congressional Republicans, Trump made clear yesterday that he will not take any action to shut down the DOJ investigation into his administration’s ties to Russia.

The comments came shortly before the Senate judiciary committee passed a bill to protect special counsel Robert Mueller from being fired.

That bill has very little chance of becoming law, however, because of the composition of Congress and the position of Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell.
