President Donald Trump's lawyers "know they are going to lose" on the question of whether special counsel Robert Mueller can subpoena the commander in chief to testify in the Russia investigation, George Washington University Law professor Jonathan Turley said Monday.
Turley told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" he does not believe a memo that questions such a subpoena — sent by Trump's attorneys to Mueller after his request that the president submit to questions about allegations he committed obstruction of justice — is backed by case law.
"Well, the letter itself seems to be an example of position bargaining where frankly they are exaggerating the existing case law. It is not true that the president can simply defy a subpoena," Turley told Joe Scarborough in a clip posted by Mediaite.com.
