川普擔心特別檢察官在會面中會指控他做僞證
President Donald Trump says he fears any statements he would give to special counsel Robert Mueller could be used to charge him with perjury.
Mueller is investigating alleged collusion between Trump's 2016 campaign and Russian meddling in the presidential election. He is also looking
into whether Trump obstructed justice by trying to derail the probe.
Trump declined to say whether he would agree to sit down with Mueller, or if he would strip Mueller of his security clearance. He also said he has the power to step in and run the special investigation himself.
Earlier Monday, Trump called the Mueller investigation "a national disgrace" and tweeting that Mueller "is just someone looking for trouble."
Mueller's investigators have uncovered several instances of Trump campaign contacts with Russia, including a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower in New
York where Donald Trump Jr. met with a woman said to be a Russian government attorney who promised incriminating information on Trump's
challenger, Democrat Hillary Clinton. No such anti-Clinton information came out of the meeting.
When news of the meeting surfaced after Trump became president, he dictated a misleading statement about the talks, claiming they were about
adoption of Russian children.
He then said the meeting was a routine political meeting and he did not know about it in advance.美國總統川普說，他擔心自己向特別檢察官穆勒說的任何話都可能被用來控告他做僞證。
穆勒正在調查有關川普2016年總統競選團隊串通俄羅斯並干預總統大選的指控。他也在調查川普是否試圖擾亂這項調查、妨礙司法。
川普星期一（2018年8月20日）在接受路透社專訪的時候拒絕說他是否會答應與穆勒會面，是否會剝奪他的機密工作許可證。川普還說，自己有權介入並實施這項特別調查。
星期一早些時候，川普稱穆勒的調查是一項國家恥辱，說穆勒是一個喜歡找麻煩的人。
穆勒團隊的調查人員發現了川普競選團隊與俄羅斯有過幾次接觸，包括川普大兒子小唐納德·川普在2016年年中在川普大廈與一位同克里姆林宮有關的律師會面。這位律師聲稱能夠提供川普的民主黨競選對手希拉里·克林頓的有罪資料。那次會面未能提供對希拉里不利的信息。
有關會面的消息在川普就任總統後浮出水面。川普就相關會面發表了一份誤導性的聲明，聲稱那次會面涉及收養俄羅斯兒童。川普後來說那是一次例行的政治性會面，還說他事先並不知情。
