Reince Priebus: "I never felt" Trump was going to fire Mueller
- Erica Pandey, author of Axios Finish Line
Former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus said on NBC's Meet the Press that he "never felt that the President was going to fire the Special Counsel," but added that Trump did express concern "about the conflicts of interest that he felt that the Special Counsel had."
Priebus was responding to a NY Times report that Trump wanted to get rid of Mueller, but backed off when White House Counsel Don McGahn threatened to resign if Mueller was fired.
