Mueller must end his investigation by September as Giuliani claims!

(CNN)With the November midterm elections 89 days away, President Donald Trump has yet to sit down for an interview with special counsel Robert Mueller.

Trump's legal team has suggested the timing of the midterms could affect the investigation.Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani told Fox News on Wednesday that if the special counsel's investigation is not completed by September, then there would be a "very, very serious violation of Justice Department rules," because Mueller "shouldn't be conducting one of these investigations in the 60-day period."That's false -- there is no such rule.

 There are, in fact, long-standing customs at the Justice Department requiring caution around elections, but the breadth is widely misconstrued.
