hite House correspondent April Ryan told CNN on the night of June 12, 2017 that the White House was in mass hysteria with staffers fearing President Donald Trump was about to fire special counsel Robert Mueller.
Thursday night, The New York Times reported senior staffers corroborated that story to Muellers team that Trump wanted to fire the special counsel. It was White House counsel Don McGahn who stopped it by saying that if Trump did it he would resign. Trump didnt fire Mueller after all. Months later, he even denied ever thinking about it.
Heres what Ryan had to say seven months ago.
One of my sources reached out to me right before we went on air and they said theres mass hysteria in the West Wing about this, Ryan explained We dont know if its going to happen or if it wont happen, but what we do know: if indeed the president does fire Mueller, it shows that hes impeding the process again.
