Trump Tells NBC’s Lester Holt He’d Already Decided to Fire Comey Before Rosenstein Letter
In a complete reversal from the previous line that James Comey was fired based on the recommendation of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Donald Trump is now saying he had planned to fire Comey all along.
NBC NEWS: Trump says he decided to fire Comey even before meeting with AG and Deputy AG: “I was going to fire regardless of recommendation”

The timeline of the Comey firing becomes a little more confusing with the admission.
Certain reports say that the firing was out of the blue for senior advisers, who then had to come up with a story on the fly. Others have stated that Trump was leaning toward it, but wanted reports from Rosenstein and Jeff Sessions before he pulled the trigger.
Trump’s statement to Holt is a flat-out admission that no matter what the Department of Justice leadership said, he was going to fire Comey.
You can watch Trump’s full interview with Holt tonight on NBC News.
