Giuliani: Trump could be ‘walking into a trap’ with Mueller interview

President Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani said on Sunday that Trump could be “walking into a trap” by interviewing with special counsel Robert Mueller if he’s not given more details about an FBI informant who reportedly met with Trump campaign aides.

Giuliani told The Wall Street Journal in an interview published Sunday that Trump’s team would need more information about the informant and whether the individual had any “incriminating information” on Trump associates.

“What we intend to do is premise it on, ‘If you want an interview, we need an answer to this,’ ” Giuliani told the newspaper.

The Washington Post reported Friday that an FBI informant had met with Trump campaign co-chairman Sam Clovis, in addition to advisers George Papadopoulos and Carter Page.

The informant is said to be a retired professor and longtime U.S. intelligence source who met with Clovis in 2016 and reportedly offered to provide foreign policy advice to the campaign.

Some GOP lawmakers have claimed that the Obama administration planted a “mole” in the Trump campaign to find incriminating evidence against Trump and his aides.

The New York Times has reported that there is no evidence that the FBI ordered the informant to infiltrate the Trump campaign.
