Trump never said "my presidency is over": Conway

ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) White House adviser Kellyanne Conway on Thursday said she has never heard President Trump express concerns that his presidency might be coming to an end because of the Mueller investigation.

According to the report by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Trump believed the appointment of a special counsel to take over the federal probe of Russian interference into the 2016 election would spell the end of his presidency.

When then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions informed Trump of Mueller's appointment in May 2017, the report said, Trump slumped back in his chair and said: "Oh my God.

This is terrible.

This is the end of my presidency.

I'm fucked." Trump then asked Sessions, whom he had berated for months for recusing himself from the Russia probe: "How could you let this happen, Jeff?" and told Sessions he had let him down.

Details of Mueller's investigation were released on Thursday, showing Trump tried to impede the probe, raising questions of whether he committed the crime of obstruction of justice.
