i do think in any other situation the prosecutor would have in mind follow-up questions and there is also the suggestion there may be an executive privilege fight. you can take giuliani s statements to suggest they might go that round. to personally answer mueller s questions he has gotten away with a real victory. ed: i have seen other legal experts say there could be a perjury trap because if you say something, written or oral testimony, if it conflicts with what other witnesses said. it would mean a subpoena that would take months to deal with. seems like robert mueller is running out of time. hard to know if he s running out of time. you can run the investigation as long as he wants to.
coming week. it didn t take very long to do them. they were my answers. i don t need lawyers to do that. you need lawyers for submital, you need lawyers to go over some of the answers but they re not very difficult questions. reporter: we reached out to president trump s personal attorney, rudy giuliani this morning, and so far have not heard back from him. the president says he answered the questions easily but he also talked about his concerns over a perjury trap. president trump has attacked special counsel robert mueller and the investigation into ties between his campaign and russia. on twitter this week president trump called mueller s team a disgrace to our nation. republicans including my friend the republican leader say president trump has not threatened the special counsel investigation so there s no need to protect it. that s a laugh. he threatens the investigation almost every day. he did this morning in his tweet. the president has made it very clear over a series
