Democratic Congresswoman Jackie Spier said Friday the rumor on the Hill is that President Donald Trump intends to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller next week when Congress is gone for the holidays.
Should Trump go through with the unconfirmed rumor, Spier said an effort for impeachment would follow.
Spier added Republicans are aiming to shut down the House Intelligence Committees own Trump-Russia investigation and likened Trumps possible firing of the special counsel to that of former President Richard Nixons infamous Saturday Night Massacre.
Her comments reflected those of the House committees ranking Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff, also of California, who stated Friday he was worried about the committees status and that of Mueller.
The rumor on the Hill when I left yesterday was that the president was going to make a significant speech at the end of next week, Spier told KQED. And on Dec. 22nd, when we are out of D.C., he was going to fire Robert Mueller.
