The Mueller report details how McGahn received at least 2 phone calls with Pres. Trump in which the president 'directed him to call' Deputy AG Rosenstein to have Mueller 'removed.' Pres. Trump claims he never told McGahn to fire Mueller.

In an interview with Mueller, McGahn recalled Trump telling him "Mueller has to go" and "call me back when you" tell the deputy attorney general.Jose Luis Magana / AP fileGet breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.

Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, meanwhile, told"Fox News Sunday" that McGahn was"confused" about what took place. Trump followed up on the request more directly in the second call, saying something like,"Call Rod, tell Rod that Mueller has conflicts and can't be the Special Counsel" and"Mueller has to go," McGahn recalled, according to the report.In response, McGahn decided he would resign"because he did not want to participate in events that he described as akin to the Saturday Night Massacre," Mueller wrote. McGahn ultimately did not do so.

The"evidence shows that the President was not just seeking an examination of whether conflicts existed but instead was looking to use asserted conflicts as a way to terminate the Special Counsel," Mueller wrote.

Obstruction.

Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve, Mueller was never FIRED! Never fired! Maybe that didn’t register the first 100 💯 times HE WAS’NT FIRED! Bet that didn’t register either. Don’t do Drugs when you report. You become repetitive.

Since the report didn't say what you wanted it to say, you take the extreme liberty of interpreting to fit the narrative you wish. Got it.

He said/he said is not proof. Recordings? Video? Snapchat? Anything?

Which even it did occur is not even remotely illegal. When it is all said and done it was a hoax.

Role the tape. I want to hear it for myself. Enough of listening 2 delusional ppl defending this monster [within] realDonaldTrump full of lies & deceptions. The proof will be on the recording; not a 400 page report. ThursdayThoughts

Trump lies

So what!! Mueller finished his job!

Since trump has documented far more than 1 lie daily, why should we believe anything he says. Why would McGahn want to ruin his reputation for the likes of trump by lying to Mueller? I can't think of any good reason.

Didn’t happen and not illegal.

Oh dear. We are all just so upset.

Crazy Town with DerangedDonald

One of the men was a lawyer under oath.

Trump=🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥 Liar

No one believes a liar. It’s like the boy who called WOLF. Did tell a lie and than he called WOLF and no one believed him, He got mauled by the wolf. With all TRUMPS lying, who would ever believe him?

I don't understand why the Dems in congress have no idea how the Administration works. The Justice dept. and Special Council service at the pleasure and direction of the President. Sorry folks, you only have oversight not management.

WE ALL KNOW TRUMP LIE'S ABOUT EVERYTHING HE ALSO INSTRUCT HIS PEOPLE TO LIE.

Doesn't sound like he did, sound like he told Rosenstein to do it

DerangedDonald

SMH ostrichrepublicans LiarInChief

Trump's lies just get bigger and Bigger and BIGGER.

I think we should give Trump the benefit of doubt, since he is usually honest and trustworthy

there's three words for this....

mpo619 Democrat dream which won't come true, like all the rest of them, will become a nightmare instead.

What an incredible waste of money.

Trumpeters are out in full force here! 🤣Hit a nerve?

The story is nonsense. Either McGahn or Mueller would have been fired if true. Trump could fire Mueller himself and it’s no different than ordering someone to do it. I say BS on this claim.

RepJerryNadler Either McGahn lied to Mueller or Trump is lying. Sounds like realDonaldTrump is calling Don McGahn a LIAR. Is he going to come out to defend himself?

That is straight out a crime

Now who do you beleive?

And Trump denies this🤥👎

So, Trump is stating McGahn, and others, lied to special counsel prosecutors, a federal crime. He’d rather his (former) staff go to jail than admit he’s incompetent... Dumpster. Fire.

DonFMcGahn does Trump actually think we'd believe that Mr. McGahn would lie about something like this I do so hope he rethinks testifying.....

What number lie are we up to now? Anyone tracking? Apparently the American people enjoy being lie to because nothing is happening even when he is called out on it. What will it take America for you to stand up and say enough is enough? I’m ready when you all are.

Easy enough. Have both testify UNDER OATH.

So? Was he removed? Ignore.

Many people are so sick and tired of never ending day after day after day of lies...at this point,anybody would be better than Mr 'know it all'Trump! even Ted Cruz or Gov. Sarah Palin., Vice President Pence.... we are not in a good place with Trump..

It's time. Time for our Constitution to be honored and enacted to preserve our Democracy. Trump is incompetent to hold the office of the presidency.

Liar, liar. Pants on fire. Why hadn't he completely incinerated yet?

Trump has no business directing the DOJ to do anything ! That is the crime !

The Mueller report is out it's over move on

Deez?

from article 'Trump and his legal team's McGahn strategy — particularly, seeking to prevent him from testifying before the House Judiciary Committee.' So put McGahn in some Witness type of protection and have the Marshalls escort him to the House Committee. Donny enjoys theater

That's because he's a liar liar pants on 🔥 DerangedDonald

Remember when CORRUPT DEEP STATE Obama's SOCIAL JUSTICE Black attorney general, Eric Holder, who sent FREE WEAPONS to the Cartels under Fast & Furious & he refused to testify or give any info to Congress.

So trump surrounds himself with good people and they stand up to him... and no crime committed just a thoughts stated ... that’s scary that msnbc thinks that having a verbal thought is a crime

Looks like Trump lies again

One is a known pathological liar, I believe McGahn's testimony, he understands that little thing called perjury.

So now McGahn is a liar because he won't lie for Trump. I don't like McGahn politics but he is honest.

Yeah because technically speaking ”removed” and ”fired” are two completely different words/separate meanings although the results are the same.

Trump is a liar what else is new 🤥🤥

I actually READ the Mueller Report, it said No Such Thing. MSNBC = We Just Make Shit Up!

Hmmm.... who should we believe...🤔

This does not constitute obstruction as the investigation was never hampered

FakeNews did Mueller get fired…NO. You’re nazis if you want to arrest someone for their thoughts.

Gee, I wonder who is lying? The guy who interviewed or the guy who lies everyday and was too scared to be interviewed?

The liar lies again. No news here.

Trump lies about everything because he is betting the American people won't read the report and that they don't care. HE IS WRONG!!

Those guys are wrong. Trump has the best memory so he remembers everything he said.

So, what's Trump's word worth?
