Giuliani says President Trump probably shouldn't testify in Mueller's Russia probe

President Trump's lawyer said Sunday he's leaning against having Trump testify in the Russia case unless special counsel Robert Mueller produces more documents about the investigation.Attorney Rudy Giuliani told ABC's This Week that he and fellow Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow "want to keep an open mind," but added that "I just want to be honest: we're leaning toward not."

Speaking on Sunday news shows the morning after the publication of a January memo from the president's lawyers, Giuliani also told ABC said the president "probably" has the power to pardon himself, but doesn't plan to because he's done nothing wrong.

"It could lead to impeachment," Giuliani told NBC's Meet The Press. "If he terminated an investigation of himself it could lead to all sets of consequences."

Giuliani also defended a January memo in which Trump's lawyers at the time told Mueller that, as a legal matter, presidents can't be charged with obstruction of justice because he is the nation's chief law enforcement officer. The memo also said that Trump could "terminate" the Mueller investigation, either through the Justice Department or the pardon power.
