Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) co-sponsored legislation to protect special counsel Robert Mueller, and he believes that if it went to the Senate floor, it would get enough votes to pass.
He told Chris Wallace this morning, “It’s necessary because President Trump himself keeps tweeting or saying things that suggest he hasn’t fully given up the idea of possibly firing Robert Mueller… He’s issued a whole series of tweets saying this is a witch hunt, that it’s an attack on him and on democracy, it shouldn’t be allowed to go on.”
He said a bill protecting the special counsel is a “modest and reasonable step,” though as Chris Wallace pointed out, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he does not plan to bring this to the floor.
However, Coons said, “If it were put on the floor this coming week, I think we’d get 60 votes for it.”
And he even directly appealed to President Trump while on Fox News Sunday:
“I’ll say to the President — if you’re watching, Mr. President, saying that you would sign this bill is the single boldest thing you could do to shut up the critics who say there is a risk you might fire Robert Mueller.”
