Washington DC— Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-KY, went on the record today saying that the US Senate won’t take up a gun bill unless Trump says he’ll sign it first.

McConnell has blocked nearly every piece of legislation passed by the Democrat-led House over the past several months, including gun measures popular with the public.

Following his remarks, Mr. McConnell phoned the President to find out if he has the POTUS’s support on a potential bill. “They talked for, like, two hours,” said a staffer familiar with the conversation because she stood outside McConnell’s office with a glass held up to her ear, the other side pressed against the closed door. “When it was time to finish the call, I heard him say, like, ‘You hang up first. No, you. No, you hang up first. Okay, together. One. Two. Three… well you didn’t hang up, either. No you hang up.'”

It’s unclear if the President will support the bill or not.
