Newly-appointed White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said Tuesday that he has previously advised President Donald Trump not to fire Robert Mueller, the special prosecutor overseeing an investigation into last year’s presidential election.
Mueller, appointed in the wake of Trump’s decision to fire FBI Director James Comey, is overseeing a probe of Russia’s efforts to interfere in last year’s presidential election and is also examining allegations that individuals with ties to Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia in those efforts.
