To have fired him...

"Crucially, perhaps, Trump still faces accusations that, as president, he acted criminally by attempting to obstruct justice by interfering in the Russia investigation. Specifically, Trump is allegedly to have pressured James Comey, the then FBI director, to drop inquiries into Flynn and when Comey refused, to have fired him in a clumsy cover-up bid. Trump denies the allegation." (The Guardian.)


Is "to have fired" in the grammatical relation with "is allegedly", [i.e., is allegedly to have fired him in a clumsy cover-up bid] in the passage above?
