Donald Trump is still considering an interview in special counsel Robert Mueller's inquiry into Russian influence in the 2016 presidential election, but is concerned about what he sees as a "corrupt" and "tainted" investigation, the president's lead attorney said.
Trump is "close" to deciding a determination, but he's been waiting as more details emerge about "bias" on the part of investigators, Rudy Giuliani said.
"How you could expect us to just walk up our client like a lamb going to the slaughter? We wouldn't be lawyers if we would do that," Giuliani said on ABC's "This Week."
He called it "the most corrupt investigation I have ever seen," taking his cue from the president.
In a separate interview on NBC's "Meet the Press," Giuliani said Trump's lawyers would not recommend an interview for the president "unless they can satisfy us that there is some basis for this investigation."
"It's our firm belief, and we think nothing contradicts this, the president did nothing wrong," Giuliani said.
Giuliani also said he has no concerns about what Michael Cohen, Trump's longtime personal lawyer and "fixer," may tell investigators. Cohen gave an interview to ABC last week in which he signaled he may be willing to cooperate.
"As long as he tells the truth, we're home free," Giuliani said.
