We begin at the white house where last night the white house faulted the media for questioning whether president trump will fire special counsel robert mueller. now, after the president and one of his top lawyers offered unprompted criticism of mueller this weekend, amid a number of tweets about andrew mccabe, a potential witness in the mueller probe just hours before his full pension eligibility, president trump issued his first tweet specifically attacking mueller by name. quote, the mueller probe should never have been started in that there was no collusion and there was no crime. it was ba...
