Trump Will Agree to Interview If Mueller Winds Down Investigation

President Trump’s lawyers want the special counsel’s office to promise to end its investigation within two months after an interview with the president, adding another demand to tense negotiations that have dragged on for months.

“We got pretty close on the amount of time they would need to write a report, which roughly was about 60 days after they finished their investigation,” Trump’s lawyer Rudy Guiliani told TIME on Wednesday.

When Guiliani joined Trump’s legal team in April, he boldly predicted he could get the case resolved in a matter of weeks. Linking an interview with Trump to a specific end date for special counsel Robert Mueller to submit his findings tothe Department of Justice seems to be an attempt to force things to a close. Once Mueller submits his report, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will then determine what to share with lawmakers and the public.

Talks have stalled in recent days over Trump’s insistence that Mueller disclose all authorizations he’s been given by the Department of Justice as well as documents about an FBI informant who collected information about the Trump campaign in the summer of 2016. At this point, those two requirements seem “insurmountable,” Guiliani said. “We’d have to see [those] before we would advise him on whether to testify or not.”

[George II]

4. Good luck with that, Donnie.

[global1]

5. What Is Trump Afraid Of If The Investigation Goes Longer Than Two Months After Interview?.....

Trump wanting to end this investigation quick must mean that he is worried that the longer this investigation goes on that Mueller will keep on uncovering even more wrongdoing by Trump and his cronies.

This investigation ends when Mueller says it ends - not when Trump wants it to end.

[chowder66]

7. Yep, what else could the reason be! There must be something important to uncover still. nt

[truthisfreedom]

17. The simple view would be that it would not help during the mid-terms, and he wants to claim victory.

Fake victory, with so many indictments resulting already from this important investigation.

[msongs]

6. trump could end it now - plead guilty to all charges nt

[PoorMonger]

8. Yeah sure.

Not very likely assholes

[Freethinker65]

Snort

[Maxheader]

[beachbum bob]

21. after trump lies to the muellers investigator, in 2 months all the charges and indictments would be

headed trump's way

but trump will never do this as he can;t keep track of the "truth", always been a moving target for him since childhood

[world wide wally]

23. Liar

[billh58]

24. Just another attempt

by the Orange Anus-Mouth to obstruct Mueller's investigation as if his threats to pardon himself weren't enough.

[Javaman]

25. did anyone here really believe that the orange asshole was going to submit to questioning?

he likes to play things out because he equates all this drama with positive popularity.

ego is orange assholes real name.

[Miles Archer]

26. Perps don't get to dictate the terms of an investigation

Nice try, though.

[quartz007]

27. While Rump gets to appoint more judges?

Mueller has already given the Rump over a year to nominate and get approved dozens and dozens of new right wing judges all over the country. Those will last way beyond 2024.

Not to mention corrupt Scott Pruitt demolishing the environment.

I realize it is a complicated investigation. So hire more lawyers,
and speed things up towards charging the Rump with criminal
activities. That will hasten impeachment.

[Gothmog]

28. Mueller will not agree to this silly demand

[louis-t]

29. More obstruction of justice.

And wishful thinking.
