Alex Witt hosts coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Two items, the Collusion Case and the obstruction case. What would the president consider sitting down two with the approval of his attorneys . How much has this conversation evolved . Well, i think we have to take everything Rudy Giuliani says with a grain of salgt. And when were only hearing about these conversations from him, it is very unclear to me how accurate he is in relaying those conversations. But if it is true that giuliani is considering a response to mueller and that they are continuing to negotiate about this interview, it surprises me a little bit.

We know from polling that President Trumps core supporters are persuaded by this, that theyre inclined to believe this is a witch hunt. And that hes being treated unfairly. Whatever the findings of the Special

Joining me now political reporter for the guardian and steph knight, reporter for axios. Ladies, thanks. Sabrina, is there any indication that were getting to the end, the final stretch of whether or not the president will submit to an interview with Robert Mueller . Weve been having the same conversation for months as to what the scope of that interview might look like and the ongoing negotiations with the president s legal team and an interview that would be partially done in person. And then there would perhaps be some questions in written format. So it doesnt really seem like much progress because its something is that we were talking about earlier this year.
