Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani today said the president may be open to an interview with special counsel Robert Mueller even if it involves some questions about alleged obstruction of justice in the federal investigation into Russia interference in the 2016 election.
Giuliani said negotiations continue with Mueller's office regarding the conditions for an interview, which Trump's legal team spelled out in a proposal this month.
Giuliani said Trump's team wants an interview basically limited to questions involving alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in the 2016 election, arguing that no "legal basis" exists for Trump to be questioned about obstruction.
But Giuliani also told CBS' "Face the Nation" that Trump might be willing to address obstruction in some form.
"There is a sort of area of questioning and a group of restrictions on it that we could live with, I think," Giuliani said.
"We have an outstanding offer to them. They haven't responded in about a week to 10 days. I don't hold that against them."
