But as the New York Times Nicholas Fandos tweeted, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) might be on board.
In a close-doors GOP lunch, Burr walked through the backstory of the subpoena for Don Jr and defended his investigations work, per to people directly familiar, Fandos posted. McConnell also spoke up, the people said, offering his support for Mr. Burr and his handling of the committee.
