Trump tried to get White House counsel Don McGahn to dispute reports he wanted to fire Mueller: report

A whole trove of new information has been revealed after the publication of the redacted Mueller report Thursday.

An issue that remains open is whether the President obstructed justice in trying to shut down the probe. Although the report does not establish a legal obstruction charge, there's evidence President Trump did attempt to hamper the investigation.

Bloomberg reporter Jennifer Jacobs observed on Twitter that the report shows President Trump tried to push former White House counsel Donald McGahn to insinuate that Mueller had a conflict of interest and that McGahn did not think that would be proper -- but that the President never directly said the word fire.
