Washington (CNN) Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says he doesn't have any reason to believe President Donald Trump will fire special counsel Robert Mueller. "I don't have any reason to believe the President is going to do that," Mnuchin later said, adding, "but that's obviously up to him." The comments come after lawyers for Trump's transition accused the special counsel of "unlawfully" obtaining tens of thousands of emails from the transition. "He wants to shut down these investigations and he wants to fire special counsel Mueller." "Well, it's a shame what's happened with the FBI," Trump said .
