This Week in the Senate: Green New Deal, Nominations

March 25, 2019

‘[O]n this whole Democrat effort to re-brand all the failed ideas of 20th century socialism with a little green paint -- every member of this body will have the opportunity to cast a clear vote, this very week. The American people deserve to know which senators can reject this crippling proposal right away and which senators find themselves unable to do that. And that’s exactly what they will learn later this week. But first, later today, the Senate will vote to advance the nomination of yet another of President Trump’s qualified choices for the federal bench.’

‘No Collusion, No Conspiracy, No Obstruction’

March 25, 2019

‘[T]he American people hired this president to clean up the mess of the preceding eight years. That’s exactly what we’ve set about doing. And the results are clear. The nation is clearly better off than it was two years ago. So I sincerely hope that now, at last, our friends on the left will be able to put aside their fixation on permanently re-litigating their loss in 2016 and actually join in the productive work that the rest of us have been proudly engaged in for two years and counting.’

Special Counsel Confirms No Collusion Between Trump Campaign and Russia

March 24, 2019

LOUISVILLE, KY – Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement regarding today's letter from Attorney General Barr to Congress on Special Counsel Mueller's report:

“I thank the Attorney General for promptly advising the Congress of the Special Counsel’s principal conclusions in this matter, consistent with his Friday letter to the Congress.

"The Special Counsel’s conclusions confirm the President’s account that there was no effort by his campaign to conspire or coordinate with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election.

“However, Russia’s ongoing efforts to interfere with our democracy are dangerous and disturbing, and I welcome the Special Counsel's contributions to our efforts to understand better Russia's activities in this regard. And I look forward to the continuing work of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on the threats posed to our democratic institutions by foreign interference.

“I appreciate the Attorney General’s commitment to continue to review the record in this matter over the coming days, in conjunction with Special Counsel Mueller, with the goal of producing as much information as possible, consistent with the law. I look forward to reviewing that information.”
