A Trump friend who was spotted visiting the White House on Monday later told a PBS interviewer that the president was indeed mulling over firing Mueller. Newt Gingrich, who is close to Trump, tweeted: “Republicans are delusional if they think the special counsel is going to be fair. This apparent effort to lay the groundwork for Mueller’s firing raises a key question: Could the president do it? The fallout from the firing of Mueller would likely be as explosive as (Richard Nixon’s) firing of special counsel Archibald Cox in 1973.”One of Trump’s lawyers refused to rule out a firing. If so, I infinite dare (Trump) to fire the special counsel,” he tweeted.
