President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani on Sunday ruled out a face-to-face-interview between the President and special counsel Robert Mueller—claiming that investigators could trick the President into lying.
In the segment with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday, Giuliani said that an interview between the President and special counsel would now happen “over my dead body.” He added, “But you know, I could be dead.”
Speaking about Mueller, Giuliani declared himself “disgusted with the tactics they have used in this case.”
The flurry of interviews by Giuliani on Sunday came as Mueller’s investigation placed the White House under increasing pressure, The Guardian wrote.
In sentencing documents for Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen, filed earlier in the month, investigators said that Trump had violated election laws by ordering hush money payments to two women—including adult film actress Stormy Daniels (real name Stephanie Clifford)—who claimed to have had affairs with him.
“If there’s another purpose, it’s not a campaign contribution,” Giuliani told ABC News. “Suppose he tried to use campaign funds to pay Stormy Daniels. It wouldn’t be illegal. These are not campaign contributions.”
Mueller is continuing to investigate whether the President and members of his inner circle conspired with Russia to seize victory in the 2016 election, and obstructed justice in attempting to cover up their crimes.
