Anthony Scaramucci said on Sunday that he'd advise President Trump against testifying in Robert Mueller's probe.

There's been quite a bit of speculation about President Trump potentially testifying in special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russia's alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci weighed in on the matter Sunday and said that the president shouldn't testify.
"I actually don't want him to testify, because as a lawyer I don't want him caught in a gotcha moment where somebody accuses him of lying where he may not remember something or something like that," Scaramucci stated during an appearance on ABC News' This Week.
"There's no reason to testify. Let the thing unfold the way it is. I was there for 18 months. I know there was no collusion. He knows there was no collusion," Scaramucci added.
Weeks ago, Trump told reporters at the White House that he's open to testifying under oath.
"I would love to do it, and I would like to do it as soon as possible," Trump said. "I would do it under oath, absolutely."
At the same time, Trump has maintained that there was no collusion between his campaign and Russia for the 2016 election.
Hours after the release of a GOP memo that alleged surveillance abuses by the FBI, the president tweeted, "This memo totally vindicates 'Trump' in probe. But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on. [There] was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction (the word now used because, after one year of looking endlessly and finding NOTHING, collusion is dead). This is an American disgrace!"
