Rudy Giuliani said Sunday that Trump’s personal legal team had not produced a rebuttal to the Mueller report because they believe the public discourse since the redacted report’s release had so far been in their favor
“So far we don’t think we need to,” Giuliani said in an interview on “Fox News Sunday” of the 30-to-40 page report his team had been reported to be assembling. The president's personal attorney added at some point it “may become necessary” to release that report, alluding to the near certainty that Congress will take the issue up.
“Exoneration means proving a negative,” Giuliani said to Wallace, calling the notion that Mueller’s report would need to exonerate Trump a “biased, warped view of a prosecutor’s role.” “A lot of things left off, a lot of things are false — I shouldn't say a lot of things. Some things are false, a lot of things are questionable,” he said of the report.
“If they’re gonna review his removal power,” he said, there’s a “real question under Article 2 whether they can do that. The Constitution of the United States give the Congress a role in appointment, advise and consent, it deliberately doesn’t give them a role in removal because they say, go back to the Constitutional Convention, that would be too much of an intrusion.”
