One of President Trump’s attorneys said the president is eager to give an interview in the Russia investigation but that special counsel Robert Mueller has yet to respond to an offer setting conditions on the sorts of questions that could be asked.

Rudy Giuliani, speaking on CNN Monday, said that the president’s legal team gave its proposal to Mr. Mueller 10 days ago and has yet to get a response.

Mr. Giuliani said he believes the “odds are against” such an interview, but that he wouldn’t be surprised if it happened because Mr. Trump “wants to do it so badly.”

Last week, The Wall Street Journal reported that the president’s attorneys had alerted Mr. Mueller that Mr. Trump would be willing to take questions concerning possible collusion between his campaign and Russia. But the attorneys also made clear that Mr. Trump would be less inclined to talk about whether he obstructed justice in the course of the investigation.

Mr. Giuliani also cast doubt Monday on whether the special counsel’s probe of possible collusion was focused on action that was even criminal. “I don’t even know if that’s a crime, colluding about Russians. You start analyzing the crime, the hacking is the crime,” he said. “The president didn’t hack.”
