The news that the Senate Intelligence Committee invited Trump Jr. to testify about issues related to his investigation of Russia came shortly after the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnellAddison (Mitch) Mitchell McConnell McConnell is considering the end of the month, while disaster relief faces new McConnell "hurdles": Dems has the "Trump Trouble Syndrome" in the middle of the battle of Barr Dems wants IG Judge to investigate Barr PLUS (R-Ky.) Delivered a speech to the Senate stating, "The case is closed."

"Two years of exhaustive investigations and nothing to establish the theory of spooky plot that the Democratic politicians and the major interlocutors of television had treated as a fatality. They told everyone that there was a plot between Russia and the Trump campaign. However, on this central issue, the conclusion of the special advocate is clear: the case is closed. The case is closed, "McConnell said.

McConnell also noted in the same speech that the Senate Intelligence Committee was reporting on Russia's efforts to undermine American democracy.

"The special prosecutor released his report. It's very complete. He comes to a conclusion. Unless you want to re-investigate the Mueller report, why do you need a special attorney to tell you what he's writing? Said Burr to The Hill.

Burr added that "I have reports to make, they have nothing to do with the Mueller report".

"The Mueller report looked at crime. Congress has no responsibility for crime. If they do, they pass it on to the Ministry of Justice, "he said.

McConnell on Tuesday afternoon reiterated his argument that Congress must stop pleading controversy over Russia.

"I think it's time to move on. Independent counsel has passed, the special advocate spent two years, spoke with a large number of people, tabled his report and it seems to me that we got our answer. There was no collusion, "McConnell said.
