NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump and his lawyers probably won’t decide whether he will sit down for an interview with special counsel Robert Mueller until after the president’s summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un next month, according to the president’s legal team.

Rudy Giuliani, the president’s new attorney, said in an interview with The Associated Press on Friday that any preparation with Trump for a possible interview with investigators would likely be delayed until after the June 12 summit in Singapore because “I wouldn’t want to take his concentration off something far, far more important.”

Trump’s lawyers haven’t decided whether it would be in the president’s best interests anyway to speak with Mueller. Giuliani said he had hoped to resolve that question by May 17, the one-year anniversary of Mueller’s appointment, but that was no longer feasible.

“Several things delayed us, with the primary one being the whole situation with North Korea,” Giuliani said. “The president has been very busy. It really would be pretty close to impossible to spend the amount of time on it we would need.”

4. In other words, Turd had already decided to say "no" and got smacked down.

Mueller does not see this as a negotiation nor an option. Turd will be put in the hot seat, period.

5. And another doooossie..

“The president has been very busy. It really would be pretty close to impossible to spend the amount of time on it we would need.”

6. It's hilarious that they think the decision is up to them

Mueller will just end up subpoenaing him

[H2O Man]

7. Lots to remember, perhaps.

My father often said that if you tell the truth, you've only got one thing to remember. Trump must have a lot more.

[montanacowboy]

8. They act like this is "their" decision

Dump WILL talk to Mueller one way or another. I prefer a GJ Subpoena myself. Let them drag the Fucker kicking and screaming out of the White House. If not, jail that bastard.

9. Maybe he'd have more time.........

to actually work if he'd lose his phone and skip a day or month of tee-times!!!!!!

And also, didn't he get the note from Mother Pence that it's time to bring this to an end. This "waiting" shit isn't helping to end it all!

[kskiska]

10. They think he'll come off the Kim meeting a national hero

and the Mueller investigation won't matter anymore.

[TeamPooka]

11. They're just deciding whether to be subpoena or not, not whether trump will be interviewed

[procon]

13. Stall. Delay. Procrastinate.

Trump will slow walk this for as long as he can. He's unleashed all his Flying Monkeys, his minions and high priests, to undermine Mueller's investigating, and the cauldron is bubbling nicely.

It's what innocent people with nothing to hide do all the time.

14. "I wouldn't want to take his concentration off something far, far more important."

He has his sexual predator traitorous lying fingers on the channel remote................


Nice try captain jerk...................


November 2018 cannot get here fast enough

15. I think they are hoping for Trump to come back from his trip a hero

All ready to accept his Nobel Peace Prize. And with both Korean leaders praising him as the great peace maker.

He'll get a bump in the polls for sure. And when that all happens, it will be more palatable and accepted if he refuses to cooperate. Framing it as Mueller hitting a peace-puppy when he's down.

Seriously, do you actually think the police will knock on the White House door to arrest him if he does not show? No f'n way. What his lawyers will do is counter sue with some bogus claim that it is unconstitutional. That or NATIONAL SECURITY!, That one always works.

19. Exactly!

But Mueller and the truth will win in the end. Just wait.

[meadowlander]

16. So why is Mike Pence running around saying "wrap it up"

if the President doesn't have any intention of making himself available for the next month?

Can't have it both ways boys.

18. Giuliani wants to wait until after the North Korea matter to try to fire Mueller.
