A lawyer for President Donald Trump on Saturday ruled out the possibility that Russia special counsel Robert Mueller would lose his job amid complaints by Trump supporters that investigators had improperly obtained emails from a federal agency.
"As the White House has repeatedly and emphatically said for months, there is no consideration at the White House of terminating the special counsel," lawyer Ty Cobb told Politico.
The comment came after Kory Langhofer, counsel to the Trump for America, Inc., transition team, told Congress that Mueller's team had unlawfully obtained emails from the General Services Administration.
Agency staffers "unlawfully produced TFA’s private materials, including privileged communications, to the special counsel’s office," Langhofer said in the letter.
He alleged that the materials included "tens of thousands of emails."
Trump's transition team used the offices of the GSA, which helps manage the federal government bureaucracy, between the president's November election victory and his January inauguration.
Langhofer's letter further escalated tensions between Trump supporters and Mueller's team in the investigation into Moscow's role in last year's election.
White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders, when asked to comment on Langhofer's accusations, said: "We continue to cooperate fully with the special counsel and expect this process to wrap up soon."
