- President Donald Trump could end up testifying under oath in the Russia probe, and that, over the course of the investigation being conducted by the special counsel Robert Mueller, has unsettled Trump's defense lawyers.
- In the roughly 15 months since Mueller was appointed, multiple news outlets have reported on the negotiations between the two sides that would set the terms for Trump to testify.
- The biggest question has been whether or not Trump's lawyers should allow their client to be interviewed by Mueller's team under oath, given Trump's tendency to speak off the cuff and say things that are contradictory or untrue.
- Lawyer Glenn Zeitz, who deposed Trump in a 1990s court case, talked about the experience in a CNN interview that aired Friday night.
Before he was president, private citizen Donald Trump sat for several depositions in legal cases related to his businesses. One attorney who deposed Trump in the 1990s told CNN about the experience in a segment that aired Friday night.
Attorney Glenn Zeitz questioned Trump under oath in an eminent-domain case in which Trump sought to take control of an elderly woman's Atlantic City, New Jersey, property so he could build a parking lot for one of his casinos.
