Acosta: W.H. Source Says Trump Saying Mueller Shouldn’t Testify Not an Order To Block Him
RUSH EXCERPT:
ACOSTA: “That the right. There is discussions going on inside the White House and administration and the president tweeted that Robert Mueller should not testify, this was a departure from what the president was saying last Friday when he was saying up to the Attorney General William Barr and William Barr when he testified said this would be fine with him. According to the source familiar with all this who I spoke with a short while ago, The View inside the White House is that the president was just expressing his opinion when he made that statement and that tweet over the weekend that he’s not necessarily issuing a directive or order to his administration to block Robert Mueller from testifying. Essentially with the president saying he views this investigation is over and that it’s time to move on but Anderson, interesting there are sources inside administration familiar with this matter essentially saying the president was letting off steam there, not necessarily signaling at this point that he’s going to block the special counsel from testifying.”
