2016 ELECTION/RUSSIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “One of President Donald Trump’s friends said he believes the President is considering dismissing special counsel Robert Mueller, who was appointed to lead the FBI investigation into Russia’s potential ties to the 2016 election.
‘I think it is a consideration the President has had because Mueller is illegitimate as special counsel,’ Christopher Ruddy, the CEO of Newsmax Media, told CNN’s Chris Cuomo on ‘New Day’ Tuesday [6-13-17]. ‘Chris, remember there is no evidence of wrongdoing, there’s no evidence of collusion, there’s no evidence of obstruction.’
He added that he believes it would be a mistake to fire Mueller, but said the ‘the basis of his investigation is flim-flam.’
Ruddy first made the bombshell assertion that Trump was considering dismissing Mueller to PBS’ Jody Woodruff on ‘PBS Newshour’ Monday night.”
