Trump complained about Mueller investigation in final meeting with McGahn: report

President Trump reportedly chastised former White House counsel Don McGahn at their final meeting over the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller during his tenure.

CNN reported Wednesday that Trump complained to McGahn during a face-to-face meeting earlier this month that the Mueller investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election has cast a cloud over his presidency.

While the president spent much of the final meeting with McGahn complaining about the Mueller investigation, CNN reported, he also praised the former White House counsel for how he handled other duties.

{mosads}McGahn officially left his post on Oct. 17. His departure was expected, as Trump tweeted that McGahn would leave at the conclusion of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination process.

Attorney Emmet Flood is serving as White House counsel in a temporary role until full-time replacement Pat Cipollone takes over the job. The White House has not provided a timeline for when when Cipollone might start.

Trump’s August announcement that McGahn would leave came less than two weeks after a New York Times report detailed that the then-White House counsel sat for more than 30 hours worth of interviews with Mueller’s team to discuss the president’s firing of ex-FBI Director James Comey and Trump’s criticism of Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

The president later claimed he “allowed” McGahn to speak with Mueller’s investigators.

Trump has repeatedly railed against the Mueller investigation, decrying it as a “witch hunt” and alleging that the special counsel’s team is biased against him.

Mueller has thus far obtained guilty pleas from former Trump associated Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Richard Gates and George Papadopoulos and has filed charges against several Russians.
