Giuliani says Mueller's probe will only be fair if it absolves Trump within the next 2 weeks
President Trump and his legal team are willing to concede that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is conducting a fair investigation into Russian election meddling and alleged Trump campaign collusion, the president's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, tweeted Saturday. There's just one catch: Mueller needs to wrap it up — at least where Trump himself is concerned — in the next two weeks:
Election Day is Nov. 6 this year, which per Giuliani's timeline gives Mueller until Sept. 7 to make his report.
Mueller is unlikely to pay Giuliani any mind. He just won an eight-count conviction against Trump's former campaign chair, Paul Manafort, for financial crimes and secured a guilty plea, also for financial crimes, from Trump's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen.
