WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he’s going to leave it up to the voters of Alabama to decide whether Alabama GOP candidate Roy Moore should serve in the Senate. And the Senate Ethics Committee could decide what to do then. McConnell, R-Ky., said Sunday he believed the Senate Ethics Committee would take up an investigation if Moore is elected, but that it’ll be up to that panel to decide how it wants to proceed. “I think that at this point, we’re just going to let the people of Alabama make their decision,” McConnell told The Associated Press. President Donald Trump has also said the decision should be up to Alabama voters, discounting the allegations against Moore and saying that electing a Democrat to the seat formerly held by Attorney General Jeff Sessions “would be a disaster.”.
