WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says he is not considering firing special counsel Robert Mueller, but that didn’t stop him from adding to the growing conservative criticism of Mueller’s acquisition of thousands of emails sent and received by Trump officials before the start of his administration. ADVERTISEMENTLanghofer asserted the GSA improperly provided the transition records to Mueller’s team, which he said has been “actively using” the emails. The tens of thousands of emails in question pertain to 13 senior Trump transition officials. “When we have obtained emails in the course of our ongoing criminal investigation, we have secured either the account owner’s consent or appropriate criminal process,” Carr said. The media site Axios first reported on the transfer of the emails to Mueller’s team.
