>> i never told don mcgahn to
fire mueller.
if i wanted to fire mueller, i
would have done it myself.
>> so, melanie, has the white
house actually done anything
wrong here?
>> that's a really great
question.
>> i would say when it comes to
asking mcgahn to deny this
publicly, it doesn't do anything
illegal.
but it doesn't look good for the
administration.
and democrats want him to answer
to this.
it will be a top priority for
democrats going forward.
now, they will have a new line
of questioning.
what did the president ask you
to do?
and there's a long pattern in
history in this mueller report,
of the president to step in and
try to have influence over the
probe.
>> two things here.
mcgahn has declined to cooperate
