The White House on Thursday denied rumors that President Trump intends to fire special counsel Robert Mueller and called the Russia investigation a "hoax."
When asked about the matter during a Fox News interview, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, "for the 1000th time, we have no intention of firing Bob Mueller."
"We're continuing to work closely and cooperate with him," Sanders further commented. "We look forward to seeing this hoax wrap up very soon."
Her characterization of the investigation is in line with the view frequently expressed by President Trump.
He has called various inquiries into Russia's election meddling a hoax on a number of occasions, along with assertions that Hillary Clinton is the one who should be under investigation.
"Why isn't the House Intelligence Committee looking into the Bill & Hillary [Clinton] deal that allowed big Uranium to go to Russia," Trump tweeted in March.
More recently, he said via Twitter, "The Russia hoax continues, now it's ads on Facebook. What about the totally biased and dishonest Media coverage in favor of Crooked Hillary?"
