President Trump’s legal team sent a letter to Special Counsel Robert Mueller in January outlining many reasons why the president should not sit down for an interview.
Fox News has obtained the letter, which offers a detailed look at the president’s legal team and its thinking about whether he should submit to an interview, including the argument that under the law and the U.S. Constitution, Mueller faces a high bar in trying to prove he needs in-person answers from the president.
Trump attorney Jay Sekulow and then-Trump attorney John Dowd challenged Mueller to prove there were questions remaining that had not already been answered in the avalanche of documents the White House and the Trump transition team provided to Mueller.
The letter, dated Jan. 29, 2018, was titled, “Request for Testimony on Alleged Obstruction of Justice.”
“This letter will address the recent request by our office for an interview with the president,” the letter began.

Patience. President Trump isn’t a fool.
Exactly. He openly says he wants to speak to them because it makes him look honest and then privately knows he won’t talk to them because they will make him out to be a criminal liar.
Always look to his actions, never his words.
We are with you, President Trump. NO INTERVIEW! Mueller is a real poor sad excuse of an attorney and I believe is mentally ill.
Trump should agree to an interview, then just as Mueller is about to start asking his first question hand him a letter telling him he’s fired and walk out.
Everyone knows that an interview is only for a perjury trap, not for information. When did our country become the Stalin era Soviet Union ?
He'll stand for impeachment first.
This is just rope a dope, dragging out the timeline without saying no.
Mueller is already under ENORMOUS pressure from the left/Deep State to produce something and now even the right is piling on, realizing the mid-terms are but around the corner.
No Republican can be elected without vocal support for Trump.
No Democrat in a swing district/state can be elected whil screaming for Impeachment.
Game, set, match.
Interesting that this letter dates back to January, and this interview has never taken place in six months. It ain’t happening. LOL.
No, just a corrupt prosecutor who makes Mike Nifong look like a Saint.
Trump had a one of one conversation with Comey before he was fired. Muller asks him a question about the conversation and Trump replies truthfully. Comey a serial liar disputes it. Bingo perjury trap!
1. they said Trump was not a target!
2. Get hillary in that seat... she has the goods
3. Get obama in that seat.... he has even more to tell about how he spied on Trump and the campaign
4. Your time is up.. you’ve spent 17 mil of tax dollars and found nothing to unseat the man you have been after.. all for NOTHNG!
5. Enough, mueller.. ENOUGH!!
NO interview Jackass Mueller. Trump owes you NOTHING!
Now put out your stupid idiotic report and get the hell gone.
Yep anything they can do to drag this out til the midterms and beyond
Who leaked the letter??????????????????
Exactly what got Scooter Libbey convicted.
If President Trump is neither a suspect or target, then there is absolutely no reason he should entertain an interview with Mueller.
Plus the Constitutional reasons, but nobody pays attention to the Constitution anymore.
5.56mm
I’d MEET with him-
in order to to fire him, IN PERSON!
MEET with him!!
FIRE him.
The ONLY question is for Mueller: “Have you hired your OWN lawyer yet?”
Right on!
And the OIG report is going to be a huge slap down of Mueller and his flimsy, corrupt and extremely tainted “investigation”.
