Asked if she is worried about Trump firing Mueller — who has been investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election — Pelosi said she is "frantic."

ADVERTISEMENT "I'm not worried, I'm frantic. It is absolutely so wrong for our country. Here we have a president who thinks he's above the law," Pelosi said. "Not so."

Trump said Monday that "many people" have suggested he fire Mueller , renewing speculation that Trump might fire the special counsel.

Trump's frequent attacks on the special counsel periodically sparked concern from Democrats that he will seek to fire Mueller before he can conclude his investigation.

However, lawmakers have said they're prepared to protect Mueller should the president try to fire him.
