special counsel. but mcgahn said he did everything he could to prevent that. and he said that trump wanted him to go on the record and deny that trump ever tried to remove mueller, but he was afraid it would expose him criminally and also the former president, donald trump, criminally as well. mcgahn also talked about donald trump's behavior, described as erratic, and sometimes out of control. he said some of the things trump asked him to do were crazy. this goes to show the state of mind of donald trump during this period of time. it's important to point out, this revelation by mcgahn and testimony won't amount to anything. the mueller report has been issued. the former president beat back an impeachment proceeding around that time. this was about making sure he would come in front of this committee for future instances like this coming up.
