Rudy Giuliani did an about-face on Wednesday, saying that he now believed that President Trump should agree to a sitdown with the special counsel’s team investigating Russian election meddling.

Giuliani, one of the president’s lawyers, said he would like Trump to give Robert Mueller and his investigators an interview, and that a final decision would be made within “the next couple weeks,” The Washington Post reported.

“I guess I’d rather do the interview. It gets it over with it, it makes my client happy,” he said.

“The safe course you hear every lawyer say is don’t do the interview, and that’s easy to say in the abstract. That’s much harder when you have a client who is the president of the United States and wants to be interviewed.”

Giuliani had been openly skeptical about a face-to-face between Trump and Mueller.
