President Donald Trump said today he “would love to speak” with Special Counsel Robert Mueller as long as he can get assurances he would be treated fairly.
“I would love to go… nothing I would love to do more,” Trump said of a potential sit down interview with the lead investigator of the Russia election interference probe. He spoke to reporters on the south lawn of the White House and on the tarmac of Joint Base Andrews before heading to deliver remarks at the National Rifle Association convention in Dallas, Texas.
The president accused Mueller of having partisan investigators and questioned why he doesn’t have more Republicans working for him.
Trump said “if I thought [the interview] was fair I would override my lawyers.” Trump’s new lawyer, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, has said an interview with the president must have parameters and cannot go more than three hours.
