Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell faced tough questions in multiple interviews regarding his support for Donald Trump, particularly on issues such as Ukraine aid and Trump's role in the January 6 Capitol attack. McConnell reiterated his stance on Trump's accountability for the events of January 6 and his position that former presidents, including Trump, are not immune from criminal prosecution. He declined to express support for a US national abortion ban and remained firm on his previous statements despite pressure from interviewers.
