President Trump said Sunday he is not considering firing special counsel Robert Mueller, amid concerns that the administration was trying to halt the investigation into Russian election meddling. 

“No, I’m not,” Trump said after a reporter asked him if he was thinking about firing the special counsel. 

His remark comes among mounting rumors that Trump was considering firing Mueller and attacks by Trump allies on the special counsel.

The president was also asked about a slew of Trump transition team emails obtained by Mueller as apart of the probe.
