Even Joe Biden is telling Trump to avoid an interview with Mueller

Biden joins Trump's own legal team in telling him it wouldn't be a good idea to sit down with Mueller.

  • Former Vice President Joe Biden echoed President Donald Trump's legal team said that he would advise Trump against agreeing to questioning by special counsel Robert Mueller.
  • Biden said Trump has "difficulty with precision," opening him up to potentially lying under oath without even realizing it.
  • A legal battle might emerge between Mueller's office and Trump's team if the president refuses to testify before the special counsel's panel.

y that the president would become engaged in a lengthy legal battle with Mueller's office over whether he should be required to testify under oath.

"It only takes a couple of slip-ups for them to say to his lawyers, 'We caught your client in a lie, do you want us to present this to a grand jury and see if they indict him?'" Napolitano said on Fox.

Trump had previously volunteered to testify under oath, but the White House soon retracted the offer. Refusing to agree to an interview with Mueller potentially carries political risks, as it might expose Trump to accusations that he has something to hide. In addition to Trump, the Mueller probe is also hoping to interview former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon and former spokesman for Trump's legal team Mark Corallo in the coming weeks.
