Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) on Thursday warned that anyone advising President Trump to fire special counsel Robert Mueller doesn’t have “the nation’s best interest at heart.”

“Anyone advising the President — in public or over the airwaves — to fire Bob Mueller does not have the President or the nation’s best interest at heart,” Hatch tweeted. “Full stop.”

Hatch released a statement last month urging Trump to allow the investigation to continue “uninterrupted.” 

“I know Bob Mueller well and believe him to be a straight shooter, and I continue to believe that giving him the time and support necessary to get to the bottom of things is the best interest of all parties involved,” Hatch said.

Hatch said then that his conversations with the Trump White House convinced him that Trump “would not take such a foolish action.”
