Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) complained Tuesday that Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn isn't being treated fairly because federal Judge Emmmet Sullivan refused to drop the case after the Department of Justice decided to let Flynn go for lying to the FBI, Politico reported.

“As if this debacle needed even more shocking behavior, I understand a federal judge may try to continue prosecuting one of these cases, even though the prosecution itself wants to drop it,” McConnell said on the Senate floor. “The judge has taken it upon himself to go browsing for other hostile parties. Obviously, that subverts our constitutional order in which the executive alone decides whether to prosecute cases.”

In a meeting on Tuesday, President Donald Trump strongly defended his decision to take hydroxychloroquine as a prophylactic against coronavirus, despite any scientific evidence — and claimed the people who died while taking it were going to die anyway.

Many "great studies" back up the use of hydroxychloroquine, said Trump. He contrasted this with the "phony VA study" that cast doubt on its use.

In fact, there are multiple large studies revealing hydroxychloroquine is worthless for treating infected patients, although a study into whether it can be used prophylactically, as Trump is doing, is ongoing. And as Trump's own VA secretary quickly pointed out, the VA didn't actually study anything — what he is referring to is a meta-analysis of cases within the VA system.
