Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said his committee will take up legislation to protect special counsel Robert Mueller despite opposition from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
"They got together, so I feel an obligation to keep my word and move forward," Grassley said when asked if he would still give the special counsel legislation a vote.
Grassley had previously urged supporters of two competing special counsel bills to strike an agreement and merge their proposals.
That legislation is on the agenda for a committee business meeting on Thursday, but an actual vote is expected to be delayed until next week.

Last week PBS had a sobering program showing how Trump took control of the Republican party and at some point they were talking about McConnell who champions voting rights and other stands to advance the common good. Perhaps. But now he has to think of his wife.
