According to a Politico report, White House aides like now-fired staffer Reince Preibus tried to warn Trump against firing Comey because it could create a political firestorm.
Priebus was joined by recently-fired adviser Steve Bannon and White House counsel Don McGahn
It turned out to be what everyone was afraid of, one adviser told Politico. A pivotal point for his presidency, and not a good one.
***
Trump reportedly made the decision while spending the weekend at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf course with his adviser son-in-law Jared Kushner and Steve Bannons protegee Stephen Miller. A New York Times report claims that Miller drafter Trumps first letter that lawyers urged him not to publish and that is now being investigated by Mueller.
