Sen. Mitch McConnell announced Tuesday he’ll block a new effort to bring up legislation that would prevent President Trump from firing special counsel Robert Mueller.

“This is a solution in search of a problem,” said the Kentucky Republican. “The president is not going to fire Bob Mueller, nor do I think he should, nor do I think he should not be allowed to finish. We have a lot of things to do to finish up this year without taking votes on things that are completely irrelevant to outcomes.”
