McConnell Statement On The Passing Of Ted Olson

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) issued the following statement today on the passing of Ted Olson:

"Elaine and I were saddened to hear of the passing of our good friend, Ted Olson.

"Even in a town full of lawyers, Ted's career as a litigator was particularly prolific. His exemplary counsel to two presidents made him a sought-after advocate at the highest levels of our legal system. Having found myself on the losing side of an Olson case before, I can attest to his well-earned reputation for winning.

"More importantly, I count myself among so many in Washington who knew Ted as a good and decent man. And today, our thoughts are with Ted's wife, Lady, and the entire Olson family."
