President Trump wanted to fire special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating whether his campaign colluded with Russian officials in the election, last June but didn’t after the White House counsel threatened to quit, according to a report.
White House counsel Don McGhan refused Trump’s order to ask the Justice Department to fire Mueller, and was worried the axing would raise more questions about the administration’s potential involvement with Russia, The New York Times reported Thursday citing sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
