Ingraham interviewed Kelly on the debut night of her new show the “Ingraham Angle.” “I think the president has made it clear what he thinks about the Uranium One story and the Fusion GPS Story,” Ingraham told Kelly.

This is in reference to President Donald Trump’s angry tweets about the Clinton campaign funding a dossier alleging ties between Trump and Russia and an Obama-era uranium deal that Republicans have criticized.

The Fox News host asked Kelly whether he thinks there should be a special counsel “appointed to investigate all of these narratives coming out with the DNC and the Clinton campaign, actually funding research that was in part compiled by the Kremlin..Kremlin associates.”

Kelly vaguely responded that he believes the American public has a right to know what the government is doing. Ingraham asked whether Mueller should recuse himself due to him being FBI director when the Obama-era uranium deal transpired and the White House chief of staff replied that Mueller seems rather preoccupied.
