Trump attorney not ruling out his taking the 5th Amendment

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's new attorney won't rule out the possibility that the president would assert his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in the swirling Russia investigation.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said, "How could I ever be confident of that?" Giuliani was appearing on ABC's "This Week."

Giuliani said despite Trump's openness to sit down with special counsel Robert Mueller, he would strongly advise Trump against it. He said: "I'm going to walk him into a prosecution for perjury like Martha Stewart?"

Giuliani, who was hired by Trump last month, said he was still learning the facts of the Mueller case and the details of Trump's knowledge of a $130,000 hush payment to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels. Giuliani said he didn't know when Trump knew of the payment.
