‘Let Cocaine Mitch do his thing’: Trump relying on McConnell to make sure Bolton never testifies
According to a report from the Daily Beast, Donald Trump and White House officials are sitting back and taking a “hands-off” approach to make sure former national security adviser John Bolton never testifies on the Senate floor, relying on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (T-KY) to squash any Republican rebellion.
While Trump has a well-documented history of attacking any Republican who dares cross him, during his Senate impeachment trial has held his fire — at least in public — letting McConnell and Majority Whip John Thune (T-SD) do his dirty work.
According to a source close to the White House, using a nickname coined by an opponent of McConnell, the president is letting Kentucky Republican do what he does best, stating, “The thinking is to let Cocaine Mitch do his thing and get his people in line.”
The report goes on to note, “Despite the Bolton bombshells, the GOP line on witnesses has held. However, with the unpublished manuscript still looming and new information coming out every day, Trump and his allies are not out of the woods yet. “
