President Trump slammed former White House counsel Don McGahn in a tweet on Saturday.
"I was NOT going to fire Bob Mueller, and did not fire Bob Mueller" Trump wrote. "In fact, he was allowed to finish his Report with unprecedented help from the Trump Administration. Actually, lawyer Don McGahn had a much better chance of being fired than Mueller. Never a big fan!"
According to Politico, the tweet comes "amid an ongoing battle between House Democrats and the administration over documents and testimony related to special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation."
It also follows reports by multiple media outlines on the obstruction of justice issue.
