Schumer Warns Trump Firing of Comey, Yates, Bharara Part of "Deeply Troubling Pattern"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Capitol Hill, Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mc Connell has rejected
calls from Senate Democrats for a special prosecutor. Meanwhile, Senate
Minority Leader Chuck Schumer warned Comey's firing was part of a
troubling pattern.

Sen. Chuck Schumer: "This is part of a deeply troubling pattern from the
Trump administration. They fired Sally Yates. They fired Preet Bharara.
And now they've fired Director Comey, the very man leading the
investigation. This does not seem to be a coincidence."
