It remains unclear whether Special Counsel Robert Mueller will subpoena President Donald Trump in the Russia probe, but it appears one Fox News host isn’t confident he could even get through a testimony without lying.

Outnumbered host Dagen McDowell wondered how Trump could consider speaking with Mueller, implying that the president would have a tough time avoiding any false statements.

“How in the world could he ever cooperate and sit down with Mueller for an interview knowing that if you tell one lie to Bob Mueller, he will move to file charges?” she said during Monday’s show.

McDowell also suggested Mueller was laying a perjury trap for Trump, hoping he’d slip up eventually.

“From the outside looking in doesn’t it look like increasingly that the Mueller team is setting a trap for the president if he decides to speak with them them?” she asked.

Democratic strategist Jessica Tarlov pointed out that the president could simply be honest and decide against making false statements in an investigation.

“He could not tell a lie, that’s always an option here,” she said. “There have been so many lies from the beginning.”

Trump has been embroiled in a mess of scandals created by his perpetually changing stories on matters from payouts to a porn star and a Playboy model to, most recently, his son’s 2016 meeting with a Russian lawyer offering dirt on Hillary Clinton.
