President Donald Trump will not be allowed to answer special counsel Robert Mueller’s questions in writing, a method Trump’s legal team thinks will help protect the President from lying or making misleading comments, CBS News reported.
Trump’s new lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, told CBS that Mueller’s team rejected the Trump team’s request to conduct the interview in writing, but the former New York City mayor said they will continue to negotiate with investigators about the terms of the interview once he has a few weeks to catch up on facts of the investigation. If the two teams are unable to come to an agreement and Trump is subpoenaed for an interview, Giuliani told CBS that he will fight the subpoena. If further negotiations aren’t successful they will challenge it in the Supreme Court, he said.
Giuliani also suggested that he wants to wait until after Trump returns from a summit with North Korea on denuclearization to prepare the President for an interview with Mueller.
Watch the interview below:
It will be good when this finally does reach SCOTUS. They can then decree Trump is in fact above the law and we can all dispense with the futile hope the Republic can be salvaged.
Gee, we really need to thank Rudy for filling us in on all the good stuff we have been missing up to now.
Well, except when PeeBrain’s thumbs start itching and he can’t hold back the confessional tweets.
Giuliani is going to prepare Spanky for the interview. WOW. After Spanky, he is be the most ill-informed, arrogant, and stupid person in the world. It will be like Beavis and Butthead studying for a quantum physics exam.
Doesn’t precedence weigh in here? Didn’t Clinton and Nixon have to comply with the subpoenas?
God, I hope you are SO wrong about that one.
Just tossing this in from Josh’s post the other day about the timeline:
He married Melania January 22, 2005. He divorced Marla in June of 1999 but was already pursuing Melania. I would not be the least bit surprised if Melania is a honey pot.
