Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee are seeking immediate action on bills to protect Special Counsel Robert Mueller from any effort by President Donald Trump to remove him.
In a letter to Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) obtained by POLITICO, Rep. Jerrold Nadler, the top Democrat on the panel, joined Reps. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) and Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), in calling for urgent action on a pair of bills to protect Mueller against a unilateral ouster.
