breaking news. as the most damning testimony against trump trickles out tonight, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell is not rushing to the president's side. in fact, he directly is contradicting the president. >> the president has said that you told him that his phone call with the ukrainian president was perfect and innocent. do you believe that the president -- >> i haven't -- we've not had any conversations on that subject. ? so he was lying about that? >> you'll have to ask him. i don't recall any conversations with the president about that phone call. >> of course, the president explicitly he had talked to, you know, mcconnell about it who had said it was perfect. it didn't stop there. mcconnell calling trump out for the impeachment inquiry and comparing it to a lynching. >> given the history in our country i would not compare this to a lynching. that was an unfortunate choice of words.
