The Special Counsel's Office, of course, is not going to confirm this. (I've asked.) And Giuliani has a track record here that makes it less than 100% clear what exactly Mueller said or agreed to in this situation.

Assuming it is true (or roughly true): Based on what we know, it seems most likely to me that Mueller would tell Giuliani this as part of an effort to get Trump (and his lawyers) to agree to Trump's interview.

Replying to @chrisgeidner
So by saying this is Giuliani inadvertently admitting that Trump would be indicted but is in the clear because 'Mueller won't or can't'?
