The New York Times has reported that President Trump wanted to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller last June, but backed down when the White House counsel threatened to resign. Mueller is still in place and his investigation is gathering momentum. At the time of publishing of today’s edition of The Nightshift, Trump had yet to give his speech at Davos.
The U.S. Olympics Committee has told the entire board of U.S. Gymnastics, the governing body for the sport, to resign within six days or “else”. The demand for resignations is in response to the problems created by disgraced Dr. Larry Nasser, who was accused and convicted of extremely inappropriate behavior with the women’s U.S. Gymnastic Team members.
