Rudy Giuliani, a member of President Trump’s legal team, said he believes Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team is “desperate” to make a case and could be trying to “trap” the president into perjury, as he laid out the conditions for a possible Trump-Mueller interview. “The questions almost cry out that they don't have a case, they're desperate,” Giuliani told Fox News in a phone interview on Wednesday, referencing questions Mueller’s team wants to ask Trump. He also said the questions indicate Mueller’s team want to “trap” Trump “into perjury.”“Wasn't this an investigation about Russian collusion?” Giuliani asked. So now they're falling back to obstruction, which is not true either, and perjury, which is only true if you testify. On Wednesday, Giuliani signaled Trump’s team is still open to doing an interview – but he acknowledged he is concerned about whether Mueller’s team can be objective.
