Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Trump attorney Jay Sekulow said if special counsel Robert Mueller subpoenaed the president to testify in the Russia investigation, the legal team would advise Trump to take it to the Supreme Court.
When asked what would happen if Mueller subpoenas Trump, Sekulow said, “If you get a subpoena, you file what’s called a motion to quash. That will be argued at the district court, then the court of appeals and then the Supreme Court of the United States.”
Sekulow added that the president could still decide to talk to Mueller, saying, “That’s up to him at the end of the day.”
He added, “A subpoena for live testimony has never been tested in court as to a president of the United States, and there is a lot of language, articles, and precedents against that.”
