Trump decided to fire Comey after consulting with the Kushner-Miller brain trust at Bedminster.



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 Bannon’s protegee Stephen Miller. A New York Times report claims that Miller drafter Trump’s first letter that lawyers urged him not to publish and that is now being investigated by Mueller.
