'Something sketchy is going on': Deleted Mitch McConnell statement causes alarm

Journalists on Monday found that New Yorker staff writer Jane Mayer has deleted a social media post she published on Sunday regarding Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Florida Voice News' assistant news director Eric Daugherty shared a screenshot of Mayer's now-deleted post, in which the New Yorker writer wrote: "Message to Trump Team: 'There will be no recess appointments' Sen. Mitch McConnell said tonight at a Washington gathering." He added, "This news of McConnell telling Trump 'no recess appointments' has been DELETED by the D.C.-based New Yorker reporter…. Senator Mike Lee replied to Mayer's deleted tweet, writing, "McConnell is no longer the Senate GOP leader."
