Kellyanne Conway declined to contradict former White House counsel Don McGahn’s account — as detailed in Robert Mueller’s report — that Trump ordered McGahn to take steps to fire Mueller and then asked McGahn to deny reports detailing Trump’s directive
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Sunday declined to contradict former White House counsel Don McGahn’s account — as detailed in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report — that President Donald Trump ordered McGahn to take steps to fire Mueller and then asked McGahn to deny news reports detailing Trump’s directive.
But Conway also implied that she doubted McGahn would have continued to serve if things had unfolded the way McGahn said they did.“I believe that Don McGahn is an honorable attorney who stayed on the job 18 months after this alleged incident took place,” Conway told host Martha Raddatz on ABC’s “This Week.”
“If he were being asked to obstruct justice or violate the Constitution or commit a crime — help to commit a crime by the president of the United States — he wouldn’t have stayed,” Conway continued. “I certainly wouldn’t stay.”
