Top Republican McConnell: 'Case closed' on Trump-Russia probe

Mitch McConnell, the top Republican in the US Congress, said Tuesday it was "case closed" regarding the special counsel's report on Russian interference and urged Democrats to drop their investigations of President Donald Trump. The Senate majority leader laid out his argument for turning from "unhinged partisanship" and paralysis after a 2016 election that did not go Democrats' way to cooperating on legislation now that the two-year investigation has run its course. Democrats "told everyone there had been a conspiracy between Russia and the Trump campaign, yet on this special question, the special counsel's finding is case closed," McConnell said in a floor speech.
