President Donald Trump
The president's attorneys, instead, want Mueller to limit the scope of his questioning to questions centering on collusion with Russian Federation.
Robert Mueller, who is investigating the Russian interference in the 2016 USA presidential election, wants to interrogate the singer, Interfax pens.
Trump provoked a ferocious reaction when he tweeted that Sessions "should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further".
"Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to U.S.!" This is an attempt to obstruct justice hiding in plain sight.
Instead, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has been overseeing Mueller's investigation.
Briefing reporters from the White House podium about the Trump administration's efforts to prevent election interference by Russian Federation and other potential actors, Coats and national security adviser John Bolton were asked to address the President's commitment to the issue given he failed to directly confront Putin last month. "The president has expressed the same opinion", Giuliani told Reuters.
White House officials and Trump have long said it is time for Mueller to end his probe, present his findings to Congress and return to private life.
In a series of tweets, Trump called it a "TOTAL HOAX" the idea his campaign worked with Moscow. What topics Mueller has agreed to let pass isn't yet clear, but there's a good chance that just one topic forms the focus of Trump's anger.
The letter from the special counsel's office suggested that investigators would reduce by almost half the number of questions they would ask about potential obstruction of justice, according to two people briefed on the negotiations.
Trump's lawyers oppose the in-person portion of the interview, according to the Times, and may be inclined to turn down the proposal - something that could trigger a subpoena battle with Mueller.
Giuliani is ready for Mueller to "put up or shut up", he told CNN on Wednesday. Whether those are Trump's own finances, the facts surrounding the Trump Tower meeting or other Russia-related activities, we do not know. Trump later told CBS that he holds Putin personally responsible for Moscow's attempts to interfere in the 2016 United States election.
"It would be far better if the President refrained from commenting and for Mr. Mueller to continue his investigation, which so far already has 30 indictments, including Russian nationalists", she said on Capitol Hill.
President Donald Trump has directed a "vast, government-wide effort" to protect American elections after Russian attempts to interfere in 2016, the White House said today.
In a fusillade of tweets on Wednesday, the Republican president also lashed out at the case against his former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, whose trial is entering its second day.
Since Mueller began to lead the probe in May 2017, he has indicted or secured guilty pleas from 32 people, including several former Trump campaign aides. "What they are doing is something that is important and we support and I don't think any efforts to truncate that or somehow shut it down early is in the public's best interest". "I don't think they have any evidence he did anything wrong".
