Trump asked Priebus about Mueller testimony but it was 'nothing' of substance, sources say

President Trump asked Reince Priebus about the former White House chief of staff's testimony in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, sources confirmed to Fox News on Wednesday -- but they said the talk included “nothing” of substance.

A source with knowledge of the investigation said the conversation was limited to questions like “how did it go?” and “were you treated fairly?”

A second source said the president simply asked Priebus how he was treated and whether investigators were “nice” to him. The source summed up the conversation as “nothing,” saying Trump felt bad that Priebus was forced to sit for hours with Mueller and his staff.

Both sources said the conversation did not go into the substance of Priebus’s testimony.

The president also spoke to White House Counsel Donald McGahn. Sources said Trump asked McGahn to talk to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein about what they could do regarding Mueller, but that Trump never “ordered” McGahn to fire Mueller.
