Asked Sunday night if he was considering firing Mueller, Trump said, "No, I'm not."
"I can't imagine there's anything on (the emails), frankly, because as we said, there's no collusion. No collusion whatsoever," Trump said. "But a lot of lawyers thought that was pretty sad."
A spokesman for Mueller has denied the accusations that its access to the emails was unauthorized.
"When we have obtained emails in the course of our ongoing criminal investigation, we have secured either the account owner's consent or appropriate criminal process," special counsel spokesman Peter Carr said early Sunday.
"I believe that the President wants all of this shut down," Speier speculated during an appearance Friday on KQED in California. "He wants to shut down these investigations and he wants to fire special counsel Mueller."
Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, tweeted his own concerns Friday, saying, "I'm increasingly worried Republicans will shut down the House Intelligence Committee investigation at the end of the month."
On Saturday, Ty Cobb told CNN in a statement that there are no plans to fire Mueller.
"As the White House has consistently said for months, there is no consideration of firing the special counsel," Cobb said.
