Rudy Giuliani suggested Sunday that President Trump may not have to testify in special counsel’s Robert Mueller investigation because of his tweets.
“A lot of his tweets have been very helpful. The reason he may not have to testify is that he’s laid out his defense very clearly,” Giuliani said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
Giuliani, who is Trump’s lead attorney in the Russia investigation, was responding to a New York Times report that Mueller is reviewing Trump’s tweets as he pursues an investigation into whether the president obstructed justice.
The former New York City mayor also brushed aside the prospect that Trump’s tweets could be used to build an obstruction case.
“Obstruction by tweet is not something I think works real well,” Giuliani said.
“Generally obstruction is secret it’s clandestine it’s corrupt. I’ve looked at those tweets and they don’t amount to anything.”

The Times reported that Mueller is not focused on a single tweet or comment, but rather is using Trump’s tweets to look at a larger pattern of behavior.
