Wednesday at an event hosted by the Washington Post, Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) said President Donald Trump firing special counsel Robert Mueller would be a “major mistake.”
Corker also said firing Attorney General Jeff Sessions would be “highly problematic.”
Corker said, “Look I don’t get any sense that the president is going to take steps to actually fire Sessions. I think they understand that that’s problematic, highly problematic.”
On Mueller, Corker added, “I cannot imagine a serious conversation taking place in the White House about firing Mueller. That would be a major mistake, major miscalculation. For that reason, you cannot believe there’s a serious discussion taking place and discussing it publicly is, I hope and believe, an unnecessary waste of time.”
