"Jay [Sekulow] and I want to keep an open mind. We’re leaning toward not [doing an interview]," Giuliani said on ABC's "This Week."

"But look, if they can convince us that it will be brief, it will be to the point, there were five or six points they have to clarify, and with that we can get this long nightmare for the American public over," he added.

Is Rudy Giuliani recommending Pres. Trump not agree to interview with special counsel Mueller?

The New York Times reported Saturday that Trump’s lawyers wrote to Mueller in January arguing that the president cannot commit obstruction of justice in the special counsel’s probe because of his constitutional authority over the investigation.

Giuliani, who joined Trump’s legal team in April, has said he’d take Mueller to court if the special counsel attempted to subpoena Trump.

The letter also stated Trump is not required to sit for an interview with Mueller, which has been a point of contention for months.

On Sunday, Giuliani argued that Trump's team has provided more than 1 million documents to Mueller's team, which reduces the need for an interview with the president.

He added that Trump's history of contradicting himself in public statements is another reason "you don't let the president testify."

Trump has previously said publicly he'd be willing to do an interview with Mueller's team.
