Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow told ABC News that the president’s legal team’s inclination at this point is not to have the president meet with special counsel Robert Mueller.
“If Mueller were to try to compel the president’s testimony, there would be a legal fight over the constitutionality of requiring such an act of a sitting president.”
Said Sekulow: “A subpoena for live testimony has never been tested in court as to the president of the United States.”
