After much speculation, it appears el Presidente Trumpo told reporters that he is not planning to fire Bob Mueller.
It’s hard to hear, but a reporter asks in the middle of this video and he says no:

Again, this is almost meaningless for Trump – that he doesn’t “plan” to fire Mueller doesn’t mean he won’t fire him and then say he changed his mind. Still, it’s a good sign that he’ll let the investigation run it’s course, despite all the rabid Trump loyalists constantly demanding he fire Mueller and shoot him on 5th Avenue.
