Flake Interested in Own Future, Not Protecting Mueller Probe, Trump Says

over 5 years in Roll Call

President Donald Trump lashed out Friday at retiring GOP Sen. Jeff Flake, accusing the Arizona Republican of putting his own possible presidential ambitions ahead of actually protecting Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III.
Flake said Thursday that he and Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., would try to call up legislation designed to protect Mueller when the Senate returns for the lame-duck session next week. In a tweet about the bipartisan bill, Flake said, “After the firing of The AG, it is more important than ever to protect the Special Counsel.”
