President Trump’s legal team is preparing for what could be a dramatic showdown in the U.S. Supreme Court if Robert Mueller subpoenas the president for a sit-down interview.
Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who has been negotiating terms for an interview between the president and special counsel Robert Mueller’s prosecutors, told the Washington Post that his legal team would “move to quash” a subpoena.
Mueller’s team has tried for months to reach an agreement with Trump’s lawyers for an interview with the president over allegations obstruction of justice during the Russia probe. Mueller has said he is prepared to issue a subpoena if Trump won’t voluntarily sit down for an interview, which could include questions about obstruction of justice and collusion with Russia during the presidential campaign.
The case would be unprecedented because no high court has determined whether a president can be forced to be interviewed about a criminal investigation.
