Washington: Fearing that his presidency was doomed, an angry Donald Trump pushed for Robert Mueller to be fired before he could deepen his probe into Russian election meddling, the special counsel’s long-awaited report said Thursday. And while finding that no Americans deliberately took part in the Russian meddling, Mueller also determined that Trump was happy enough to gain an advantage from the dirty tricks. “The campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts,” the report said. I could have fired everyone, including Mueller if I wanted. I chose not to,” Trump tweeted from Air Force One.
