Trump Lawyers Will Decide Soon on Mueller Interview

May 7, 2018 · 8:23 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Lawyers advising President Trump in the Russia investigation hope to decide whether he should testify by May 17, the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Preparing Mr. Trump to testify would be a serious distraction to his work as president, eating into time he needs to deal with pressing global issues, Mr. Trump’s lawyers contend.”

“In an informal, four-hour practice session, Mr. Trump’s lawyers were only able to walk him through two questions, given the frequent interruptions on national-security matters along with Mr. Trump’s loquaciousness.”
