St. PAUL – Despite a good working relationship with the Senate Majority Leader, Virginia U.S. Senator Tim Kaine says that body is not doing its job when it comes to oversight of the White House. Kaine, on a two-day sweep though Southwest Virginia to hear about economic development, education and drug addiction issues in the region, toured a materials research lab in the Lonesome Pine Technology Park and later met with Eastside High School students who participated in a satellite launch at NASA’s Wallops Island launch facility. During a session with reporters, Kaine criticized how a Republican-controlled Senate has shown little interest in examining former special counsel Robert Mueller’s March report after a year and half examining possible wrongdoings by Donald J.
