Amid months of speculation that Donald Trump may fire the Justice Department’s special counsel, the president said Monday he is not considering terminating Robert Mueller, who is leading the investigation into Russia’s role in the 2016 presidential election.
Trump made the pronouncement when asked about the investigation by reporters in the Rose Garden, CNN reports.
“The whole Russian thing was an excuse for the Democrats losing the election,” Trump said before adding there’s been “absolutely no collusion.”
“It’s been stated that they have no collusion. They ought to get to the end of it because I think the American public is sick of it.”
