George Washington University Law professor Jonathan Turley addressed the Trump legal team’s memo to Robert Mueller on Morning Joe Monday, saying that not only is their position not supported by law, but that he thinks they know it isn’t.

“Well, the letter itself seems to be an example of position bargaining where frankly they are exaggerating the existing case law,” Turley told host Joe Scarborough. “It is not true that the president can simply defy a subpoena.”

“There’s not a lot of case law in the area but what is there supports Robert Mueller and I think that the White House team understands that,” he continued.

“I think they know they’re going to lose.”
