President Trump’s patience is spent. He will answer no more questions from Robert Mueller. Mueller was appointed allegedly to investigate collusion between President Trump and the Russians.
Once Mueller hit a dead end on that, he started investigating anything he thought he could use to drive him from office. Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s lawyer said that the president would answer no more questions. They feel as if they have done enough and do not want to get involved in Mueller’s fishing expedition.
Indeed, during the investigation, Mueller did not have to subpoena a single document or witness. They gave over more documents than they were asked for and no one took the fifth or come down with amnesia.
President Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani reiterated that President Trump is done with Special Counsel Robert Mueller and won’t provide any additional written answers, speculating that the Russia probe will end soon.
“I think I announced about ten days ago ‘over my dead body’ and I’m not dead yet,” Giuliani said Thursday after being asked on Hill TV whether Trump would give more answers in writing.
“[President Trump’s] not answering any more questions from these people — they are outrageous activity … we did enough,” he added.
Giuliani was referring to his comments on “Fox News Sunday” earlier this month where he dismissed any possibility of an in-person interview with the special counsel.
“Yeah, good luck, good luck … Over my dead body, but, you know, I could be dead,” he said during the interview.
Giuliani said that when Trump lawyers were determining the rules for the first round of written answers that were submitted last month, the prosecutors said: “Suppose we have a few things we want to go over [after receiving the submission]?” So the former New York mayor said that there’s an agreement that, after reviewing the answers, Mueller’s team could “come back and show us what you need.”
