WASHINGTON _ Republicans who co-authored an effort to bar President Donald Trump from firing Special Counsel Robert Mueller now say they don't see the need right now for their initiative.
After Tuesday's convictions of Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign manager, and Michael Cohen, Trump's personal lawyer, Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., renewed his push for legislation to bar the president from dismissing Mueller without cause.
"It is past time for the full Senate to vote on it," Coons said.
