Former Trump Staffer Miller Says Story Of Mueller Firing Order 'Suspect To Me'

Miller sided with the President.

“Well, I think there are a couple of things with the story that I would take issue with,” he told CNN’s Kate Bolduan. “I don’t think that we necessarily know that he wanted to fire Mueller. Clearly he is saying that that’s not the case. He’s taken issue with the reporting. But, again, here is– “

Bolduan stopped him: “Wait, so you’re saying the report may not be accurate, even though there’s four sources, it’s done by Maggie Haberman, Michael Schmidt, very good reporters, CNN’s confirmed it, Fox News has confirmed it—”

“Hold on,” Miller said. “There were four people who said they were briefed on this supposed conversation. It does not say there were four people in the room.”

“So that’s — you’re going with ‘supposed conversation’?” Bolduan asked.

“Yes, because the President is saying that this did not happen,” Miller said.

In a puzzling defense, Miller said such a juicy story would presumably have ended up in Michael Wolff’s gossip-heavy book “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.”
