Did Obama have to testify under oath? **** that. They can submit whatever questions they have in writing and Donald Trump can respond in writing.
Trump must testify. Just ask Rudy 1998
Rudy Giuliani, former mayor of New York City and part of President
Donald Trump’s legal team, is coming under fire... from himself.
Comments he made in 1998 during the investigation into President
Bill Clinton seem to undermine the arguments he’s making today for Trump.
On Sunday, Giuliani said the president doesn’t have to testify even if subpoenaed by special counsel
Robert Mueller.
“
We don’t have to,” Giuliani insisted. “He’s the president of the United States. We can assert the same privileges other presidents have.”
But he sang a different tune in an interview with interviewer Charlie Rose two decades ago.
“You gotta do it,” he said. “I’m mean, you don’t have a choice.”
Rose then asked what would happen if the president refused.
Giuliani replied:
“Then there is a procedure for handling that. You go before a judge and a judge decides whether or not he has a recognizable exemption or privilege from testifying. And if a judge decides that he doesn’t, you have to testify. You don’t have a choice about it.”
