President Trump posted another tweet on the Mueller report.
President Trump is denying that he told former White House counsel Don McGahn to fire "Trump hater" special counsel Robert Mueller. "As has been incorrectly reported by the Fake News Media, I never told then White House Counsel Don McGahn to fire Robert Mueller, even though I had the legal right to do so," Trump wrote in a series of tweets on Thursday. "If I wanted to fire Mueller, I didn't need McGahn to do it, I could have done it myself." "Nevertheless, Mueller was NOT fired and was respectfully allowed to finish his work on what I, and many others, say was an illegal investigation (there was no crime), headed by a Trump hater who was highly conflicted, and a group of 18 VERY ANGRY Democrats. DRAIN THE SWAMP!" the president continued. Trump added: "Despite the fact that the Mueller Report was 'composed' by Trump Haters and Angry Democrats, who had unlimited funds and human resources, the end result was No Collusion, No Obstruction. Amazing!" The effort to have McGahn fire the special counsel was detailed in the Mueller report. It was also reported by the New York Times in January of last year.
