Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump said he's concerned about potential perjury charges that could be brought against him if he were to sit down with special counsel Robert Mueller. Trump told Reuters in an interview on Monday that he was worried investigators would put his statements up against those who have testified, like ex-FBI Director James Comey. "Even if I am telling the truth, that makes me a liar," Trump said, according to Reuters. Trump's legal team has previously warned against walking into such a scenario if the President were to sit down for an interview with the special counsel. On Aug. 8, CNN reported that the President's team looked to limit topics of questioning during an interview to potential collusion but were open to considering questions relating to any obstruction of justice inquiry as long as they were not "perjury traps."
