President Donald Trump said he is not considering firing special counsel Robert Mueller, who is leading an investigation into any links between his campaign and Russia.

Mr Trump has dismissed Mr Mueller's probe as a "witch hunt" and there has been speculation he might try to remove him.

But Mr Trump told reporters at his New Jersey golf course: "I haven’t given it any thought. I’ve been reading about it from you people. You say, ‘Oh, I’m going to dismiss him.’ No, I’m not dismissing anybody."
