Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, who has long been one of President Donald Trump loudest Republican critics, is begging Trump not to fire special counsel Robert Mueller, the man leading the investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 US election.
Flake argued that, by firing Mueller, Trump would prompt a constitutional crisis that could only be resolved through impeachment.
“No one wants that outcome, Mr. President, please don’t go there,” Flake said on Tuesday.
The Republican senator’s comments follow those of his colleague, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who suggested in interviews on Sunday and Tuesday that firing Mueller would only make things worse for Trump.
