A top lawyer for Donald Trump indicated today that chances were growing that the president would not sit for an interview with the special counsel investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
While saying that Trump wanted to testify, lawyer and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani added, "It's beginning to get resolved in favor of not doing it."
But Giuliani, a former New York prosecutor, said a president "probably does" have the power to pardon himself, but insisted Trump had not intention to do so. Another former New York prosecutor, Preet Bharara, said on CNN that the question of whether a president can be subpoenaed to testify "is basically untested."
