U.S. President Donald Trump says he never ordered his White House counsel at the time, Don McGahn, to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller.U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he had never ordered his White House counsel at the time, Donald McGahn, to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller, as described in the report Mueller wrote about his investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election and whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.
The Democratic chairman of the House judiciary panel has issued a subpoena for McGahn to testify and provide documents to the committee, but it is not clear whether the White House will comply. Trump has vowed to fight every subpoena from House Democrats probing his administration.Mueller’s 448-page, partially redacted report, which was released last week, uncovered numerous links between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, and described how Trump tried to impede the investigation.
Trump also tried to get McGahn to dispute media reports that the president had attempted to fire Mueller, the report said.
