From WNYC in New York, this is on the media.

Brooke Gladstone is away this week.

I'm Bob Garfield.

We begin this week with a bulletin from the front lines of the war on truth.

The announcement from the president's new attorney, Rudolph Giuliani,

that President Trump may not submit to an interview with special counsel Robert Mueller.

He told the Washington Post he's worried the interview may not happen.

It could be a perjury trap, but that's the whole point, because he said, quote,

truth is relative.

Actually, some truth is objective.

It's called fact.

Despite a notorious White House claim to the contrary, there is no such thing as an alternate

fact. But Giuliani's invocation of relative truth may foreshadow the president's legal strategy

of undermining the legitimacy of the entire Mueller probe and of actual facts gleaned in the

investigation.

As Giuliani had explained on CNN a week ago,

sitting down with Mueller can only expose the president to danger.

Because you've got people that are going to ask him questions about,

what did you say to him, what did you say to him,

and you got Comey coming forward who will lie.

It's like Martha Stewart.

Martha Stewart never would have gone to jail if she hadn't gone and testified.
