Giuliani Backtracks On Whether Trump Will Answer More Questions From Mueller | The Last Word | MSNBC In recent dramatic statements, Rudy Giuliani, President Trump’s lawyer, created a stir by suggesting the president might be open to answering additional questions from Special Counsel Robert Mueller. However, just a day later, in an interview with Hill TV, Giuliani walked back these comments, firmly stating that Trump would not answer any more inquiries, suggesting, "Over my dead body." This abrupt change raises questions about the legal strategy being employed and showcases Giuliani’s fluctuating stance. Initially, he had hinted at potential future conversations, which left the door slightly ajar for further engagement with Mueller's team. In his earlier remarks to the Daily Beast, he maintained that discussions over Trump being interviewed were still on the table, though they had not been definitively closed.

Key Points from the Discussion​

• Giuliani's Contradictory Statements: Just the day before asserting that no further questions would be entertained, Giuliani had indicated that the negotiations were still ongoing.
• Mueller's Investigative Approach: Mueller's team has yet to confirm any of their investigative intentions publicly, but they are still reportedly examining links to Russian interference during the election.
• Legal Implications: Giuliani’s comments led to speculation about whether his role as Trump's lawyer may risk him becoming a fact witness, as he seems to provide a personal alibi for Trump's actions during the campaign.

The segment further scrutinized Giuliani's approach, with legal analysts pointing out the unusual nature of a lawyer not only defending their client but also attempting to offer personal guarantees about their client's conduct—a tactic that might stretch the bounds of attorney-client privilege.
