Trump’s Rebuttal
“It’s a disgrace, it’s, frankly, a real disgrace, it’s an attack on our country in a true sense. It’s an attack on all we stand for,” Trump said.
The President held a briefing at the White House and said that others felt he should fire Mueller.
“Why don’t I just fire Mueller? Well, I think it’s a disgrace what’s going on. We’ll see what happens,” Trump said. “But I think it’s really a sad situation, when you look at what happened. And many people have said, you should fire him.”
Reports indicated that Mueller was responsible for sending the FBI to raid Cohen’s office.
It was believed that if the FBI found nothing it would give Trump the leverage he needed to end the probe.
“I think it’s a bet and they better find something,” said Mike Shields. Shields was a former chief of staff of the Republican National Committee.
