When ousted FBI Director James Comey delivered damaging testimony to Congress in 2017, White House aides insisted that Donald Trump’s mood was “light”
that the president was feeling “buoyant.” In a subsequent cable news interview, Trump added that he was “extremely upbeat.”
Across 488 pages, Mueller’s team recounted scores of interviews in which Trump’s advisers described a president obsessed over the investigations encircling him, often expressing frustration — and even despair — when things weren’t going his way. “The President asked McGahn whether he would ‘do a correction,’ and McGahn said no. McGahn thought the President was testing his mettle to see how committed McGahn was to what happened,” the report says. Then-White House chief of staff John Kelly called the meeting “a little tense.”
