Donald Trump’s legal team met with special counsel Robert Mueller and argued the president didn’t obstruct justice by firing then-FBI Director James Comey.
Trump’s lawyers insisted the president has the constitutional right to fire the FBI director for any reason and that Mueller was an admitted leaker, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Comey said he was fired after he refused to back off an investigation of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
Mueller is investigating whether Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia to interfere with the presidential election.
