Presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway made no commitments Sunday when asked directly whether President Trump won’t fire special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.

“The president has not even discussed that,” she said on ABC’s This Week.

Host George Stephanopoulos asked again, “But will he commit not to fire him?” and she repeated her statement, adding that she isn’t his lawyer.

“You have to listen to his special counsel, Ty Cobb. He has said very clearly ... that we will continue to cooperate with Bob Mueller and his investigation,” she said.

Trump told The New York Times last month that Mueller would be crossing a red line if he began looking at Trump’s finances, something Mueller is reportedly doing.

Mueller is convening grand juries, which would allow him to subpoena documents and witnesses.

Last week, Sens. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., and Chris Coons, D-Del., introduced bipartisan legislation designed to protect Mueller by allowing judicial review if a special counsel is removed.

Asked about the bill, Conway repeated Trump’s assertion that the Russia investigation is “a total fabrication.”

Coons, also appearing with Tillis on This Week, said it’s in the interest of Trump and protecting the rule of law for Mueller to be allowed carry out his investigation.

Coons said an abrupt firing of Mueller would be “crossing a big line,” and he agreed with the suggestion from Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., that Congress should think about hiring Mueller if the president were to fire him.

“I think you would see strong bipartisan action from the Senate, which might include our reinstating him or our rehiring him to continue to conduct that investigation on behalf of Congress,” Coons said.

Tillis said the legislation is necessary to improve the reputation of the independence of the Department of Justice. He called the Russia investigation a “distraction.”

“I want to see this investigation concluded so that we can get on to doing the good work the president has already started with regulatory reform, health care and tax reform,” Tillis said.
