Analysis: The hard lesson of the Donald Trump Jr. subpoena for the GOP
By Aaron Blake Aaron Blake Senior political reporter, writing for The Fix Email Bio Follow May 9 at 10:23 AM On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declared “case closed” on President Trump and the Russia investigation. On Wednesday, we learned that one of his powerful Senate GOP colleagues disagrees.
But whatever the underlying issues, the use of a subpoena ratchets this up. It suggests Trump Jr. is resisting a second date, but Burr is insisting. The majority of Trump’s most vocal Republican critics in the Senate have chosen to forgo reelection: Jeff Flake, of Arizona, offered his most direct Trump criticisms after announcing he wouldn’t seek reelection in 2018. Tennessee’s Bob Corker was chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee when he began airing complaints about Trump and the White House. Corker later tempered his criticisms, but also opted not to seek reelection.
