Rudy Giuliani said Sunday that President Trump would not have to comply with a subpoena in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

“We don’t have to [comply with a subpoena]. He’s the president of the United States. We can assert same privilege as other presidents have," Giuliani said on ABC’s “This Week.”

Giuliani, who was recently hired to lead Trump’s legal team in the Russia probe, said he’d prefer the president receive the “Hillary Clinton treatment.” He said that would involve answering questions that were received in advance, while not under oath.

Whether Trump will testify before the special counsel has been a point of intrigue as Mueller’s probe nears its one-year mark.

Giuliani: Cohen would have paid other women 'if it was necessary'

Rudy Giuliani on Sunday said while he has no knowledge of President Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen, paying any women in addition to Stormy Daniels, he believes Cohen would have done so if he deemed it “necessary.”

“I have no knowledge of that. But I would think if it was necessary, yes.” Giuliani, who recently joined Trump’s team of lawyers, told ABC’s “This Week” when asked about Cohen making payments to other women.

Giuliani’s latest remarks come after the former New York City mayor told Fox News last week that Trump reimbursed Cohen for the payment. The president had previously said he had no knowledge of it.

“I don’t think anyone believes that he knew about it at the time,” Giuliani, who's now a member of Trump's legal team, said Sunday of the $130,000 payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford.
