have repeatedly argued that media framing this is all a choice for Trump to interview or not interview is wrong. Maybe this will get everyone back to reality — he'll get a subpoena and then need to decide if he'll stiff arm or take 5th https://t.co/ywlKJMGtAG

If Mueller raised the issue of issuing a subpoena to Donald Trump, he would have already talked about doing so with Rod Rosenstein. –@JoyceWhiteVance

The Washington Post is now reporting that "Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow compiled the list of 49 questions that the team believed the president would be asked." Trump tweeted his disgust this morning at the leaker. The leaker was him and his legal team. https://t.co/zCztFPsHu7

So disgraceful that the questions concerning the Russian Witch Hunt were “leaked” to the media. No questions on Collusion. Oh, I see…you have a made up, phony crime, Collusion, that never existed, and an investigation begun with illegally leaked classified information. Nice!

NEW: our hot take on the Mueller questions. Trump is trapped whether he answers them or not. He is in great jeopardy—and it’s his own fault. To be honest, I don’t see a good way out for him. @POLITICOMag with @BarryBerke @NoahBookbinder @CREWcrew https://t.co/25Wu8ZLIXQ

Trump's efforts to discredit Mueller investigation appear to be having some effect. New Monmouth poll finds 54% support continuing special counsel probe — down from 60% two months ago. Six-point uptick in those who want probe to end, now at 43%
