A slip up; White House not happy with Trump lawyer Dowds disastrous statement on dumping Mueller
https://www.rawstory.com/2018/03/slip-white-house-not-happy-trump-lawyer-dowds-disastrous-statement-dumping-mueller/
Theres been a lot of confusion this morning over John Dowds comments about this McCabe situation, Phillip explained. He has now issued two statements today, one initially saying that he was speaking on behalf of the president and then clarifying later that he was not speaking on behalf of the president, but he was speaking in his own personal capacity.
Phillip, speaking live from the White House, explained what she had learned.
Clearly, we are hearing from sources close to the president that they are not happy with this slip-up on the part of John Dowd Phillip reported and theres a new statement out here trying to clarify this is not a call for Mueller to be fired or for this investigation to be ended abruptly.
On Twitter, Phillips colleague Evan Pérez joked at how Dowds comments were viewed as distracting from the White House bragging about firing Andrew McCabe.

OP
Some of the WH staff might not be happy with Dowd's statement (NOT a "slip-up) but Trump was.

This was one of Trump's "I didn't really say that" ways of getting a message out. In this case, making it clear to both Sessions and Rosenstein that Trump wants Mueller out NOW.
Sessions might've thought he'd keep his job for a while longer by firing McCabe, but he should've known the sick bully in the White House would just see that as proof that his bullying works. And Dowd was the messenger.
