So, if CNN can believe their source, Trump was doing this, and (from what I heard) even tried to get Mueller's boss to fire Mueller (since Trump doesn't have the authority to fire Mueller himself). Trump only backed down after Mueller's boss threatened to resign rather than fire Mueller, and others intervened and finally managed to convince Trump he was being an idiot.
The only thing to give Trump credit for here is eventually letting common sense prevail.
