An overwhelming majority of Americans believe that President Donald Trump should agree to an interview with special counsel Robert Mueller and that the exchange should be under oath, according to a poll released on Thursday.

Seventy-one percent of 806 adults in the poll said the two should meet, with 82 percent saying the interview should be under oath, according to the poll from Monmouth University.

........

While the degree of support for those positions tracked with political affiliation, there was still general agreement, regardless of party affiliation: 85 percent of Democrats, 74 percent of independents and 51 percent of Republicans said the president should speak to Mueller, who is leading the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Even larger majorities said such an interview should be under oath: 93 percent of Democrats, 85 percent of independents and 67 percent of Republicans.

49% of Republican voters are basically saying they want their Fuhrer to lie without repercussions. Is this what they consider putting America first?
