As Democrats take control of the U.S. House today, the new leaders are expected to introduce new legislation to protect special counsel Robert Mueller.
Incoming House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-NY, plans to re-introduce legislation that would allow Mueller and future special counsels to challenge their termination in the courts, CNN reports.
Nadler is the incoming chairman of the Judiciary Committee, which would be in charge of any future impeachment proceedings.
But the legislation faces an uphill battle because Republicans still control the Senate, which defeated a similar bill last year.
