White House press secretary Sarah Sanders admitted to special counsel Robert Mueller that her comments at a White House press briefing following the firing of FBI Director James Comey were not based in fact
In May 2017, after President Trump learned from then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had appointed Mueller, Trump “slumped back in his chair and said, ‘Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my Presidency. I'm f***ed.’”Trump called former White House lawyer Don McGahn at home and directed him to call the acting attorney general and say Mueller"had conflicts of interest and must be removed." McGahn refused.
Hicks recalls being “shocked” by the emails setting up the meeting, concerned they looked “really bad.” Together with senior advisers Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, Hicks discussed the emails with Trump, who told the group “he did not want to know about it” and refused to hear details of the matter. He said he was confident the emails would never leak.
Trump Jr. expressed concern about that statement, however, insisting the word “primarily” be inserted to suggest the meeting included other topics aside from just adoption.
