Ashley parker, as this case moves forward, the question of whether President Trump is going to be talking to bob mueller, it seems to be stuck in the mud. This is the president s tweet today.

Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Robert mueller is not. See you in a bit. Here onset for another day, dan goldman, an msnbc legal analyst along with our pal nbc News Reporter carol lee. It is less hot than it has been all week. You picked a good day to be here. Dan, let me start with you, if you look at what each side wants, they are both looking for leverage. And the sticking point, one of them seems to be this idea much an in person interview. What is the framing behind that . The trump team wants questions on collusion only and special counsel wants to hear about it all. I think Rudy Giuliani is trying to figure out a way to drum up some leverage because ordinarily the witness of the defendant or target or subject does not have the leverage, the prosecutor does.
