Iowa Republican  Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley says it would be political “suicide” for President Donald Trump to fire special counsel Robert Mueller. Grassley says he has confidence in Mueller and Trump should, too, adding: “It would be suicide for the president to want to talk about firing Mueller. The less the president said on this whole thing, the better off he would be, the stronger his presidency would be.”

Grassley tells Fox Business Network that Mueller may be “coming to a dead-end as far as collusion of Trump with Russia in this election” and speculates Mueller may “appreciate being fired” so he could end the inquiry. Trump is fuming after federal agents raised his personal attorney’s office in New York. He calls Mueller investigation a “witch hunt.”
