President Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani took a defiant stance on whether the President would answer any more written questions from special counsel Robert Mueller’s team during a phone interview with The Hill Thursday. 

“I think I announced about 10 days ago ‘over my dead body’ and I’m not dead yet,” Giuliani told The Hill, referencing comments he made during a Fox News interview last week when he said Trump wouldn’t be sitting for an in-person interview. “(Trump’s) not answering any more questions from these people — they are outrageous activity…we did enough.”

Trump has provided Mueller’s team with written answers  to questions about Russian interference in the 2016 election — and answered them “very easily” — but steered clear of responding to inquiries about obstruction of justice.

  1. Guess what, Rudy; your “client” doesn’t have to sit down and answer questions, because Directory Mueller already has all the answers he needs. I’ll be surprised if Trump escapes as only an “unindicted co-conspirator.”

    Your rhetorical prowess certainly could have fooled me, Rudy.

  3. “(Trump’s) not answering any more questions from these people — they are outrageous activity…we did enough.”

  4. “(Trump’s) not answering any more questions from these people — they are outrageous activity…we did enough.”

    Is this a loss of cognitive function or did Rudy always talk like this?
