    “I don’t even know what they’re talking about,” the president said. “Now, somebody could have written a letter and used my name, but that’s happened a lot.”

    You could help clear your name by making a deposition under oath that you did not write the letter. Of course, if it turns out that, in fact, you lied in that situation, you’d be subject to perjury charges, but if you honestly believe that, it would be a way of making a more-credible statement.

      He is 100,000,000% willing to commit perjury.

      It’s his lawyers that are his problem. They know he commits the crimes because he can’t keep his fucking mouth shut, so they won’t let him take the stand because they can’t knowingly allow a client to commit perjury.
