Mueller Has Early Draft of Trump Letter Giving Reasons for Firing Comey – The New York Times
WASHINGTON The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, has obtained a letter drafted by President Trump and a top political aide that offered an unvarnished view of Mr. Trumps thinking in the days before the president fired the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey.The circumstances and reasons for the firing are believed to be a significant element of Mr. Muellers investigation, whoch includes whether Mr. Trump obstructed justice by firing Mr. Comey.The letter, drafted in May, was met with opposition from Donald F. McGahn II, the White House counsel, who believed that its angry, meandering tone was problematic, according to interviews with a dozen administration officials and others briefed on the matter. Among Mr. McGahns concerns were references to private conversations the president had with Mr. Comey, including times when the F.B.I. director told Mr. Trump he was not under investigation in the F.B.I.s continuing Russia inquiry.
