A 'perjury trap' isn't the real reason Trump won't answer Mueller's questions
by from on (#3X77B)
As we get closer to the end of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of the Russian attack on the 2016 election and whatever related crimes might have been committed here at home, President Donald Trump and his legal team are becoming more and more resistant to the idea of answering Mueller's questions. The explanation they are offering - that such an interview would be a "perjury trap" - is simultaneously ridiculous and all but an admission that the president of the United States is guilty of something. But most of all it's disingenuous, because perjury charges are not what they're really afraid of.
