President Donald Trump’s personal defense lawyer, John Dowd, told The Daily Beast on Saturday that he is praying for an end to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

Dowd, confirming he was speaking on behalf of President Trump, hoped that the controversial firing of Andrew McCabe was only the beginning. Without outright calling for Mueller to be fired, the president’s attorney clearly made his hopes known for “an end” to the investigation.

“I pray that Acting Attorney General Rosenstein will follow the brilliant and courageous example of the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility and Attorney General Jeff Sessions and bring an end to alleged Russia Collusion investigation manufactured by McCabe’s boss James Comey based upon a fraudulent and corrupt Dossier,” Dowd said.

Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein is in charge of the investigation after AG Jeff Sessions was required to recuse himself.
