WASHINGTON _ Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a staunch defender of President Donald Trump, accuses House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of caving to the left and its "impeachment obsession" _ yet the Kentucky Republican has carefully put a little distance between himself and the White House.
McConnell has accused Democrats of rushing to judgment on impeachment and politicizing the controversy over Trump's relations with Ukraine.
But the senator has also made it clear this week that he supported sending security assistance to Ukraine and had pressed various administration officials for several months as the White House opposed its release. And he raised no objection to a Democratic bid to prod the White House to share a whistleblower complaint about Trump with Congress.
