CNN: Mick Mulvaney on ‘Shaky Ground’ Over Fallout from Whistleblower Complaint

EXCERPT:

DIAMOND: "That's right, Wolf. Tonight multiple sources are telling us that the acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney is on shaky ground with the President. The President is apparently directing much of his ire over the fallout of this whistleblower complaint at his chief of staff, and other White House aides are also pointing the finger at Mick Mulvaney. Now, it's not because of the decision to release that transcript of that phone call between the U.S. President and the President of Ukraine, rather it's because of the lack of a strategy, these sources are telling us, to deal with the fallout of that whistleblower complaint, and to handle the quick speed at which we have watched House Democrats move toward impeachment. Now tonight, the White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham is pushing back on this report, she says the story is manufactured, palace intrigue and she is denying the need for any kind of a quick response from this White House to this impeachment inquiry. But what we do know is that the President is very much taking this messaging operation into his own hands. We have already seen him in recent days go after this whistleblower and go after Democrats, who are moving very quickly to carry out this impeachment inquiry, Wolf. The President tonight continuing to call this issue a witch hunt and again going after that whistleblower, whose identity he still says he doesn't know. Wolf?"
