Mueller Has Early Draft of Trump Letter Giving Reasons for Firing Comey

The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, has a copy of a letter President Trump wanted to send to James B. Comey explaining the rationale for firing him. The White House counsel blocked the president from sending it.

As the Mueller investigation wends its inevitable way to a conclusion, a reminder that Mueller has physical evidence of the real reason(s) Trump fired James Comey, as personally dictated by Trump himself before his administration could do its best to tidy up everything.

“The letter, drafted in May, was met with opposition from Donald F. McGahn II, the White House counsel, who believed that its angry, meandering tone was problematic ... Mr. McGahn successfully blocked the president from sending the letter — which Mr. Trump had composed with Stephen Miller, one of the president’s top political advisers — to Mr. Comey. ... Mr. McGahn’s concerns about Mr. Trump’s letter show how much he realized that the president’s rationale for firing Mr. Comey might not hold up to scrutiny, and how he and other administration officials sought to build a more defensible public case for his ouster. ... Trump was angry that Mr. Comey had privately told him three times that he was not under investigation, yet would not clear his name publicly. ... Mr. Miller and [Jared] Kushner both told the president that weekend that they were in favor of firing Mr. Comey. Mr. Trump ordered Mr. Miller to draft a letter, and dictated his unfettered thoughts. Several people who saw Mr. Miller’s multi-page draft described it as a ‘screed.’ Mr. Trump was back in Washington on Monday, May 8, when copies of the letter were handed out in the Oval Office to senior officials, including Mr. McGahn and Vice President Mike Pence. Mr. Trump announced that he had decided to fire Mr. Comey, and read aloud from Mr. Miller’s memo. Some present at the meeting, including Mr. McGahn, were alarmed that the president had decided to fire the F.B.I. director after consulting only [Ivanka] Trump, Mr. Kushner and Mr. Miller.”
