Presidents side? does that make sense? do you think it comes true? >> it makes sense. i obviously dont know all the granular details but there have been discussions apparently for a number of months about the ground rules for possible interview. might as well bring it to a conclusion and i would say that its not enough in my opinion to limit the number of questions relating to obstruction. in my view and i think in the view of the presidents lawyers based upon some documents letters in particula...

Standpoint, most people would have taken that meeting. its called opposition research or even research into your opponent. in the case of don, he listened, i guess they talked about, as i see it they talked about adoption and some things. adoption wasnt even a part of the campaign. but, nothing happened from the meeting. >> now the only difference since that press conference is the report that michael cohen says that the president knew about that meeting in advance he insists he did not know it ...

Presidency continue as it always has been? >> your right, kasie, in that weve seen this rage, this unhappiness before about the mueller investigation. the president has long called it a cloud. what were detecting in our reporting is an escalation because of the timing. were months ahead of the midterm elections, were weeks, if not days ahead of a decision on a sitdown interview with robert mueller. the investigation continues. a report is on the horizon about the presidents possible conduct and ...

Campaign chair paul manaforts tax and bank fraud trial is about to enter second week. florida senator marco rubio weighing in on "fox news sunday." >> it is in the best interest of the president and the united states of america and the american people for that investigation to run the course for all the truth to come out. if there was strong evidence of collusion, i guarantee you it would have been leaked by now. jon: with more, heres ellison barber. reporter: jon, the president and legal team b...

Have to give the witness or defendant an opportunity to explain. mueller is not going to sit down until he has all his ducks in a row, all his information a row. because he knows when he sits down with him hes going to have an attorney, right? so you want to squeeze, which is what every investigator does, i think evan would agree with me. youre going get all of the information and squeeze it from other people, give them immunity and get the information. because don junior is not going to say, ye...

Good for you, man. you said that, you know, your boy never returned home, but then there are people, kids are returning home, and you think about the kids that are being taken away. the same thing, like your heartbreaks when you think someone comes over, they want a better life and all of a sudden their kids are being taken away from them. can you imagine that? >> no, i cant imagine that, and weve always grown up saying this is the land of the free and opportunity here in america, and to be a pa...

American dictator, its my way or the highway. thank god the republican party is a big tent party. well take doug jones and elizabeth warren and well take conor lamb and cortez, as long as youre voting democrat, we love you. >> except in california where the democrats cannot support their own candidate. >> we agree on that, rick. >> thanks to all three of you. would like to have this conversation again. >> thank you. the dealing over a sitdown, the questions that the trump team wants to avoid a...

Cnn has learned the presidents tweet today was just hours after his legal team updated him on the possibility of a sitdown interview with robert mueller, one in which mueller wants to ask questions about instructions. the president might be making muellers job easier in putting himself in jeopardy. lets get to our panel right now, to our folks here who can discuss all of this. patrick healy, cnn global affairs analyst laura coats. good evening to all of you. its good to have you on. reporting th...

Is muellers interest remains in wanting to get in front of the president, and the presidents interest remains in looking like he wants to be cooperative. both sides see value in allowing that negotiation to continue. nobody sees value in cutting it off just yet. whether or not the interview takes place, i still think a full-on, in-person interview is not likely to happen. i think the trump legal team will probably be able to win some internal battles with the president to keep that free and broa...

And so thats where theyve been pushing. and so, you now have at least some movement from the mueller team. but keep in mind, anderson, theyre still insisting that they want a sitdown with the president, and some of those questions will cover this very important question of obstruction of justice. >> do we know at this point where things stand about any questions regarding collusion? >> well, the collusion question, believe it or not, the trump team has been open to having the president answer th...
