Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is urging Republicans to defend special counsel Robert Mueller amid a new wave of criticism from some prominent conservatives of the person leading the probe into Russia's election interference.
"I’d urge that these attacks on Mr. Mueller be ceased, and that my friends on the other side of the aisle join me in defending his reputation. The critics are going a little too far here," Schumer said from the Senate floor.
Schumer added that if President Trump is weighing asking Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to fire Mueller, he should "look back in time and see what happened to a president who tried to do the same thing."
"If the White House truly has nothing to hide, they ought to encourage special counsel Mueller to investigate. They should let him do his job. When people say when there’s smoke, there’s fire, they’re pointing to actions like this, and it makes the American people distrustful of the White House and their allies," he said.
