is waiting on beto o rourke. our team is set up and ready go on this monday. we want to start at the white house. we re told the questions will be delivered latest thursday. it s sit down interview with bob mueller, that s where the president seems to be drawing the line. there s going to be no sit down interview and nothing written or in person on obstruction. i would say probably. probably. i can change my mind but probably. no interview? i think we have wasted enough time on this witch hunt. the answer is probably. we re finished. my colleague geoff ben amphetamibennett at
official. frank, geoff said something interest. he said the president has been talking for a year. he was singing a real different tune. let me play the evolution of the president s comments when it comes to sitting down with robert mueller. would you like to testify with robert mueller? thank you. you would like to, sir? i would love to speak. nobody wants to speak more than me. against my lawyers because most lawyers never speak. i ve always wanted to do an interview because there s been no collusion. that was then. this is now. what changed? well, a couple of things changed. as the questions came in from
they believe if the president were to sit down, he might open himself up to a perjury trap. as legal experts point out, if the witness tells the truth, there s no such thing as falling prey to a perjury trap. as for the written ons anss, we don t know what the questions are about but we fwhee the answers won t be about. the president says his legal team is advising him not to answer questions. it s also true those questions are probably where the president is most vulnerable. his decision to fire james comey, his decision to pressure jeff sessions. it appears as though the special counsel team won t get the president on the record in terms of those questions. geoff, i ll see you in a bit. joining me now is msnbc national security analyst, former fbi
