President Trump is dismissing Don McGahn’s
interview with Robert Mueller as evidence of obstruction during the
Russia probe. In the ABC interview this week, the president said the
former White House counsel’s testimony “doesn’t matter” since it was
falsified.
Previously, McGahn stated under oath the president continuously told him
to have special counsel Robert Mueller removed due to perceived
conflicts of interest and asked to create documents backing up that
claim.
However, President Trump vehemently denied doing this. He said he was
never going to fire Mueller, and never suggested doing so. The president
then gave possible explanations as to why McGahn would possibly lie.
“Because he wanted to make himself look like a good lawyer, or he
believed it because I would constantly tell anybody that would listen —
including you, including the media — that Robert Mueller was
conflicted,” he stated.
The president went on to say he decided to opt out of an interview with
Mueller’s investigators after realizing they were “looking to get him”
and his staff for “lies or slight misstatements.”
