Republican U.S. Sen. Susan Collins has said it’s essential that the special counsel investigating Russian election interference and possible connections to the Trump campaign be allowed to complete his work.
Collins issued a written statement Monday saying it would be “devastating” if Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe is impeded.
“He is a person of great experience and impeccable integrity, whose appointment was praised by both sides of the aisle. It is absolutely essential that he be allowed to finish his work,” she said.
Collins statement is similar to other Senate Republicans who have been forced to respond to repeated attacks on the investigation by President Donald Trump, though it’s not the first time she has publicly backed Mueller’s investigation.
