president itself wants to do the interview and it s only his lawyers holding him back. so what is really going on here? does the president want to talk or not? politico suggests the answer is yes. despite the risks. that s because of, quote, trump s belief in his self-created myth, that he can convince anyone of anything if he s simply given the opportunity to get them in a room alone. apparently that includes special counsel bob mueller himself. i want to bring in nbc s peter alexander who s live in berkeley heights, new jersey. peter, if the president really wants to do it, he could just say yes. i mean, his legal take is working for him. so what s going on here? yes, chris, you make a very good point. there would be one easy way for rudy giuliani and, frankly, president trump, to wrap this thing up sooner. giuliani saying he wants it to end within the next three weeks, by september 1st. he doesn t want it to interfere with the november elections. they would sit down with robe ....
