“Because they asked me on Friday (at the meeting at the National Palace with the President) ‘listen, are you going to testify?’ And I said no, but then they insisted, and I said, ‘oh yes! ‘And when?’ when the Attorney General’s Office calls me, that is, if the Attorney General’s Office calls me, I’ll go.”.
He even said that he does not even consider using his office immunity to avoid appearing, because – he quoted President López Obrador – he must appear before the authority when requested:
