The long awaited interview between Robert Mueller and Donald Trump may never happen. However it wasn’t clear what may become of such an opportunity.
Robert Mueller wanted to interview the President but the only thing that had transpired so far was back and forth communication.
Trump was told by some of his lawyers, both former and present not to do the interview. Yet others thought he should do it, but on certain terms.
Some believed that Trump could be subpoenaed if he refused to co-operate. However no such intent had been shown by Mueller up to this point.
Don’t Meet
Joe diGenova served as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia during Ronald Reagan’s Presidency.
He said that “under no circumstance should the President agree to an interview with Mueller.”
“He is under no obligation to do so and, given the indications of bad faith by the Mueller group … it would be a mistake to believe a thing they would offer by way of assurances,” he added.
Katy Harriger believed that Mueller may already have all that he needed to launch an attack on the President or those charged.
“What we don’t know is what they have. For the people they’ve indicted so far, they clearly didn’t need the President’s testimony,” she said. “If this subpoena is issued, and if the president refuses to comply, you likely have a court battle which would raise the stakes and put everything on hold while it plays out.”
