ROBERT MUELLER/RUDY GIULIANI/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Rudy Giuliani on Monday [8-20-18] attempted to clarify his weekend remark that ‘truth isn’t truth’ as part of his explanation for why he doesn’t believe that President Donald Trump should testify with special counsel Robert Mueller…Giuliani’s tweet came less than 24 hours after he sparred with NBC’s ‘Meet the Press’ anchor Chuck Todd over the meaning of ‘truth.’ ‘When you tell me that, you know, he should testify because he’s going to tell the truth and he shouldn’t worry, well, that’s so silly because it’s somebody’s version of the truth. Not the truth,’ Giuliani said Sunday…Trump has said he is willing to speak with Mueller’s team for an interview, but his legal team has disagreed because they believe the special counsel’s investigators could take what Trump says, if it differs from what others have laid out, as a lie.”
