Matt Drudge is calling for the public broadcast of a future interview special counsel Robert Mueller may conduct with President Trump about his campaign’s alleged ties with Russia.
“Mueller’s upcoming questioning of Trump should be televised! Simply too much distrust in process. Grand Jury heavily stacked with Dem voters," the conservative commentator tweeted Monday.
“Drudge was apparently referring to the grand juries Mueller, a former FBI director, impaneled in Washington, D.C., and Virginia, both of which Trump lost in the presidential election last year," according to Newsweek.
There has also been speculation that members of Mueller’s team may be biased because many of them have given contributions to Democrats in the past including Hillary Clinton who lost the 2016 election to Trump.
However, Harvard Associate Professor Maya Sen argued in August that lawyers in general tend to give more to Democratic candidates and that Mueller “hired people regardless of ideology.”
House Speaker Paul Ryan has also defended Mueller. “Remember, Bob Mueller is a Republican who was appointed by a Republican, who served in the Republican administration...I don't think many people are saying Bob Mueller is a person who is a biased partisan," Ryan said on a radio show in July. "He's really sort of anything but.”
Politico notes that no meeting between Mueller and Trump has been publicly announced thus far, but the president’s attorneys have reportedly been considering preemptively offering the special counsel an in-person interview in the hopes of speeding up a resolution to the probe.
