In a PBS Newshour interview, President Trump’s friend, Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy, said the president has discussed firing special counsel Robert Mueller.
Said Ruddy: “I think he’s considering perhaps terminating the special counsel. I think he’s weighing that option. I think it’s pretty clear by what one of his lawyers said on television recently.”
Ruddy was seen leaving the White House shortly before the interview.
