Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) appears to not want to escalate a spat between him and former President Donald Trump and did not directly answer a question about critical comments Trump reportedly made about him during a speech.

Trump commented on McConnell’s leadership during a recent address to Republican donors over the past weekend, and weeks before that, Trump sharply criticized the Senate Republican leader in a statement.
