Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) hasn’t said much in the past week on the scandals around the White House. But today, he offered one thought about former FBI director James Comey to the Wall Street Journal in an interview.

“I think we need to hear from him as soon as possible in public to respond to the issues that have been raised in recent days,” McConnell said, according to the Journal.

Later, his office added in a statement: “It’s appropriate and timely for the Senate to hear directly from former Director James Comey in a public setting as part of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s ongoing investigation.”

Other prominent Republicans also called today for Comey to address Congress, and the Senate Intelligence Committee has requested that he testify. These calls come after it was reported that Comey has notes of a meeting with President Trump during which the investigation of former national security adviser was addressed.
