White House lawyers reportedly warn Trump of legal jeopardy if he fires FBI Director Christopher Wray
President Trump has reportedly considered firing the director of the FBI again, but White House lawyers have tried their best to talk him out of it.
Trump, NBC News reported on Wednesday, has come so close to firing FBI Director Christopher Wray that the White House counsel s office warned him not to do so because it could put him in potential legal jeopardy.
The White House lawyers, according to the report, strongly advised Trump not to fire Wray, saying that it would risk creating the perception that a loyalty test was being imposed on the position or that Trump was firing him out of retaliation for not taking investigative actions he wanted. Trump previously controversially fired former FBI Director James Comey in 2017 amid the Russia probe.
HOUSTON A former Houston police captain was charged with assault on Tuesday after running a man off the road and holding him at gunpoint in an effort to prove what authorities have called a bogus voter fraud scheme.
Mark Aguirre claimed that an air conditioner repairman was the mastermind of a giant voter fraud scheme. Aguirre said the man s truck was filled with fraudulent ballots when he ran his SUV into it on Oct. 19, according to authorities. The defendant stated (the driver) has approximately seven hundred and fifty thousand fraudulent mail ballots and is using Hispanic children to sign the ballots because the children s fingerprints would not appear in any databases, according to an arrest affidavit.
