President Trump told Reuters he was worried that any statements under oath he provides to special counsel Robert Mueller could be used to bring perjury charges against him as part of the probe into Russia’s electoral interference.
“The president expressed fears that investigators could compare his statements with that of others who have testified in the probe, such as former FBI Director James Comey, and that any discrepancies could be used against him.”
Said Trump: “Even if I am telling the truth, that makes me a liar. That’s no good.”
Also interesting: “Trump also declined to say whether he might strip Mueller of his security clearance.”
