Former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steel said that President Trump said he was involved in his involvement in the dismissal of the FBI officials and his criminal lawsuit. He said.
“The reality of it, Trump said, oh, I didn't know about these dismissals. I didn't demand any of these dismissals. Steele is Saturday on MSNBC's” The Weekend “. I asked during the appearance in the morning.
“FBI is because the White House does not know it and no one is fired at that size.”
NBC New's Ryan Reilly was careful to agree with Steee's distrust.
“This was not like an individual evaluation of their actions. This was the person who could be fired in the case of January 6th, and they are basically these. Riley said during the broadcast, focusing on the people who were in terms of term. “
“Basically, these terms were approved. These were thought to be like two years.
The high -ranking officials hindered the hit in the transition between two different governments, including the demotment, but were shocked by the wave of dismissal.
Trump had previously told reporters that the agency's decision to dismiss individuals was a good idea, but did not trust this movement.
“They came after a lot of people like me, but they came after a lot of people. No, I wasn't involved,” said the reporter on Friday. 。
“If they fired some people there, it's a good thing because they are very bad,” Trump added later.
However, some members of the Diet have not bought his claim, but he is carefully watching further changes under the Republican Party, saying that it is anxiety.
“It's very wary that the Trump administration seems to be hunt down dozens of experienced agents, the first defense line of our country,” said Senator Mark Warner (D-VA). () I said.
