"I want them to get on with the task", Trump said.
"Mr. President, have you thought about or considered leading the dismissal of the special counsel, or is there anything Bob Mueller could do that would send you in that direction?" a reporter asked Trump. "Well, I've been reading about it from you people", Trump said Thursday during an impromptu press conference that followed a national security briefing with his team at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Trump's comments are curious since he and his allies have tried to discredit Mueller and his team as the leaders of a "witch hunt".
Many conservatives are voicing frustration as Mueller continues to add known Democratic attorneys to his legal team, and those complaints heated up in recent days when it was leaked that he had empanelled a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C.
Manafort's spokesman confirmed that FBI agents raided the political consultant's home in Virginia two weeks ago to secure documents related to the investigation.
"We're working with him", Trump said.
Trump said he and his administration have cooperated with Mueller, but seemed to suggest minor paperwork problems could turn up. And all I say is 'Work with them, ' because this is an event that never took place.
The president said he instructed his staff to work with the investigative team, admitting that it was possible that they forgot to file the proper paperwork, but that he was not anxious about the investigation's conclusions.
PPP conducted the poll for VoteVets that revealed that firing Mueller would start the beginning of the end for Trump, "On other big matters of the day, voters say that Congress would be right to consider impeachment if Trump fired investigator Robert Mueller and pardoned conspirators by a 56-34 margin, with even 27% of Republicans agreeing". There is no collusion. you know why? Perhaps, you'd have to look at them, but there are probably a lot of people in Washington who have done the same thing.
