>> Rudy Giuliani: Deal to have Trump sit down with Robert Mueller could happen next week (Washington Examiner) — Rudy Giuliani, the personal attorney for Donald Trump, said the president may reach an agreement regarding a meeting with special counsel Robert Mueller this week or next week. “We have negotiations going on with them, we have an outstanding offer to them,” Giuliani said on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” declining to describe what that offer entails. However, he said there “is an area of questioning and a group of restrictions on it that we could live with.” Giuliani said it relates “basically to the Russia collusion thing, which we think there’s no evidence and the president didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Maybe this week, maybe next week,” Giuliani said when asked when an interview would be set.

> Ruth Bader Ginsburg: I’ve got ‘at least five more years’ *(NY Post) — Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said on Sunday that she hopes to stay on the bench for another 5 years. Ginsburg was speaking in Manhattan following the performance of a play about the late Justice Antonin Scalia when she made the estimate. “I’m now 85,” Ginsburg said, according to CNN. “My senior colleague, Justice John Paul Stevens, he stepped down when he was 90, so think I have about at least five more years.”
