Republican leaders declined Monday to discuss charges brought against former Trump campaign officials as part of an ongoing federal investigation into possible collusion with Russia.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell snuck out of a press conference on the four judicial nominees the chamber is expected to act on this week before media was allowed to ask questions.

The remaining seven Republican senators at the event all declined to take questions from reporters on the charges and instead only took inquiries related to the judicial nominees.

Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn of Texas — the only lawmaker to answer questions — side-stepped commenting and said: “that’s not our job, that’s not our wheelhouse.”

The choice by GOP senators not to weigh in on the developments that rocked Washington, D.C. and dominated the Monday news cycle mirrors a similar strategy from House Speaker Paul D. Ryan.
