WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's legal team demanded that before the president agrees to an interview, the special counsel's team must prove it has evidence of Trump committing a crime and that it needs testimony from the president to conclude its probe, The New York Times reported Friday.
According to the Times, Trump's legal team set its new conditions on Friday with the special counsel team led by former FBI Director Robert Mueller. The demands mark further reason to believe the president will not submit voluntarily to an interview with the special counsel.
The Times account painted a picture of Trump's legal team as increasingly willing to combat the Mueller investigation while seeking to influence public opinion.
Rudy Giuliani told the Times that Mueller probably would not agree to these conditions. He conceded it was still possible the president would agree to an interview and continued to question the objectivity of the investigators.
"If they can come to us and show us the basis and that it's legitimate and that they have uncovered something, we can go from there and assess their objectivity," Giuliani said.
The same report said Trump's lawyers had contested a request from the special counsel team to interview White House chief of staff John Kelly, with White House lawyer Emmet Flood seeking to learn what investigators plan to ask and to narrow the topics of an interview.

I was once investigated by the FBI for travel to then-communist Czechoslovakia that was legal and reported to the Security department of the corporation at which I worked with a secret (and at times Top Secret) clearance. During my interview with the female agent, I was asked whether I would submit to a polygraph (”lie detector”) test. Up to this point, no crime had been alleged. I told the agent that if I was charged me with a crime I would take the test, otherwise, I would decline. I never took the test.

$600. Wow. Some publisher should pick up the rights to reprint the book - if that sort of thing is done.
I just read the Overview of this book, and the author’s biography. She sounds like someone whose name should be on PDJT’s SCOTUS list.
Trump is his boss, not the other way round.
Exactly what I was just thinking.
Sometimes it is difficult to put “cause” and “effect” together, but this is a good example.
Giuliani right... let’s see what cards Trump haters have...

Same here.
As Rush has mentioned a number of times, this will all culminate the first week of November.
This is so transparent.
Some of his comments since working for Trump have not expressed Trump’s views IMO. I have not been particularly impressed.
This is a guy who said he’d shut Mueller down in two weeks several months ago.
He thinks like a DA and Trump doesn’t, so his comments are different from Trump’s, but what I meant was, When it comes to the final decision, it’s going to be Trump’s. I just hope he listens and “obeys” Giuliani, his superior in this particular category.
