You are writing now about how the president sees this interview with Robert Mueller, how his legal team sees the interview. Heres the thing, Rudy Giuliani is talking and talking and talking about this. You know whos not . Roberts mueller. Thats absolutely true, hallie. Robert mueller has been silent and the president s lawyers have been la quashs. But one thing has not changed and thats the essence of donald tru trump, which is he believes hes his best lawyer and own best pr guy and own best thinker and diplomat and in this instance, he does believe and has as we were reported back in the spring, has always believed that if he could just sit down with these people, he could straighten this all out and explain no collusion, this is a hoax. Now, his lawyers also have changed slightly in the sense that some put their
of closets full of suit. he spent a million dollars on cost om suits and $3 million on regular vags renovations in the hampton s homes. judge excluded them and prosecution said he was wrong. this morning judge ellis rebutted that and said we re not going to show these pictures, it besomewhere muches the defendant and we re not going to do it. the last most recent witness said that manafort spend $2.2 million over four years on television a.v. internet services at his various homes in palm beach and hamptons and new york, $2.2 million, most transferred from kbroefr sovers. is part of the argument not showing morge of the pictures t keep this case moving? he s sort of known as the rocket docket, to keep the pace up? reporter: no, that s two issues.
