A news and interview program, anchored by Erin Burnett. Client, the president , sit down with the Special Counsel. You will recall the latest proposal from mueller willing to limit the number of questions about obstruction of justice. They made clear they wanted to ask the questions in person. They want to limit the questions in person to events that happened before he was inaugurated as the president. That doesnt seem something that mueller is willing to budge on either. The president is at odds with his legal team. He believes if he gets facetoface with Robert Mueller he can prove his innocence and that that interview can bring all of this to an end. The president s legal team has made quite clear they do not think this is a good idea. They are advising their client against it. One of the president s attorneys put it best today when he said ultimately this final decision will be up to president trump. Thank you very much. At the time and we can evoke privilege. When it comes to the q
If were going on three years, innocent people have been accused of serious crimes, including treason. They have had their lives disrupted and in some cases destroyed by false accusations for which there is no basis other than some people wish it was so. Your report is clear, no evidence of conspiracy, no evidence of coordination and i believe we owe it to these people who have been falsely accused to the president and his family to make that clear. The credibility of your report is based on the integrity of how its handled. Im holding here in my hand a binder of 25 examples of leaks that occurred from the Special Counsels Office Dating back to as early as a few weeks of your inception and the beginning of your work, and continuing up to just a few months ago. All of these all of them have
one thing in common. They were designed to weaken or embarrass the president. Every single one. Never was it leaked. You found no evidence of inclusion. Never was it leaked that the Steele Dossier was
information was inaccessible because your office determined it was protected by attorney client privilege, is that correct? that is true. that would include that you do not know whether communications between donald trump and his personal attorneys jay secolo, rudy giuliani and others discouraged cooperation with the government, is that right? i m not going to talk to that. you can t talk to wage pardons were dangled? i m not going to discuss that. did you want to interview donald trump jr.? i m not going to discuss that. did you subpoena donald trump jr.? i m not going to discuss that. did you want to interview the president? yes much. director mueller, on january 1st, 2017 through march 2019, donald trump met with vladimir
aims of prosecutors versus congress, congress trying to bring things forward, ooirng that becomes a very interesting situation. on obstruction it seemed stronger almost every day the president is tweeting things that can be construed as trying to interfere with the investigation. there i would say they are much closer to that even as a prosecutor i think they would be more comfortable charging that because there are so many instances of it including the comey firing and then also there is the issue of it sounds like president trump s legal team may have met, did meet with cohen prior to his original testimony during which he lied. that really raises the question of what happened there. i think it transformed the lawyers into witnesses at this point. jay secolo denied what cohen said. there is a new report alleging that president trump
president of the united states? does he? do you think? i certainly think he has the guts to subpoena him. mueller is a combination of practical theorists. they are thinking carefully about what is the main issue to subpoena. it s really about if you have a very bad situation like a rogue president people are like let s issue a subpoena and put his feet to the fire. you have to think what kind of law you end up with. if you get a bad ruling from the supreme court too much deference to the executive we are stuck with that for a long time. jay secolo says trump subpoenaed the other lawyer. here is what he said would happen if mueller actually subpoenaed the president. if you get a subpoena you
