- Robert Mueller, the special counsel in charge of the Russia investigation is back to negotiating with President Donald Trump’s lawyers for an interview with the commander-in-chief, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing two unnamed people familiar with the discussions.
- Talks between the two sides have apparently been at a stalemate, partly due to the public stance Trump’s defense attorney Rudy Giuliani has taken on the matter. Giuliani, in a series of media interviews over the last few months, has frequently changed his tune about the conditions he would require before granting an interview.
- The news follows renewed attacks from Trump on Wednesday. The president used his Twitter account to jab Attorney General Jeff Sessions and urge him to stop the Russia probe. Sessions recused himself from the investigation last year and his deputy, Rod Rosenstein, is overseeing it.
The special counsel Robert Mueller is reportedly offering to limit his investigators’ questions if President Donald Trump’s lawyers allow him to sit for an interview in the Russia investigation, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing two unnamed people familiar with the talks.
Negotiations between the two sides have been at a standstill in the months since the president added Rudy Giuliani to his legal team. Giuliani, in a number of interviews with news outlets, has frequently changed his tune about what terms he would accept in order for Trump to talk to Mueller.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
