President Donald Trump ordered special counsel Robert Mueller to be fired last year but backed down after the White House's top attorney threatened to resign, according to a source familiar with the issue.
 
White House counsel Don McGahn threatened to quit after Trump pushed the idea of firing Mueller in June, the source said.
In a statement, Ty Cobb, the White House attorney who is focused on the Russia investigation, said, "We decline to comment out of respect for the Office of the Special Counsel and its process."
