More from Fox News:
Joseph diGenova, a former Trump personal lawyer and U.S. attorney, said Sunday that the president will not agree to be interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller in his Russia collusion probe because it has devolved into a “bad faith” investigation.
“The president will not sit down for an interview because this investigation has reached a level of bad faith,” diGenova told “Fox News Sunday.” “This is no longer a good faith investigation.”
Mueller and his team of lawyers investigating whether the 2016 Trump presidential campaign colluded with Russia to influence the outcome of the race purportedly want to interview Trump.
The president, eager to have the investigation concluded, has suggested he’d submit to an interview.
It’s unclear whether DiGenova was speaking from knowledge or just opinion. But frankly, I don’t see why Trump would allow himself to take that risk. He’d have to be completely delusional about his powers of persuasion if he thinks he’ll got into that Mueller and not come out with some legal problems. He’s not that delusional, is he? #MAGA!!!
UPDATE: It’s also worth watching to see DeGenova and Lanny Davis disagree on whether Trump can be subpoena’d by Mueller, and explain their reasoning.
