President Trump’s new attorney, Rudy Giuliani, said Sunday he couldn’t rule out that Trump will assert his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in the Russia investigation.
Giuliani also could say whether Trump’s longtime personal attorney, Michael Cohen, made hush parents to other women on behalf of the president.
Giuliani’s bewildering statements came on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday, choosing Trump’s preferred approach to taking the president’s arguments to the media.
The former New York mayor and longtime supporter of the president said he would strong advice Trump against sitting down with special counsel Robert Mueller.
“I’m going to walk him into a prosecution for perjury like Martha Stewart?” Giuliani asked.
He said he couldn’t guarantee that Trump would assert his constitutional right to answer questions that could incriminate him.
“I’m going to walk him into a prosecution for perjury like Martha Stewart?”
If Trump is subpoenaed, Giuliani said the president may not comply, which could lead to a Supreme Court decision on whether presidents could be compelled to speak under oath.
