Donald Trump’s outside legal counsel said that he is “pleased with the progress being made” in talks with the Special Counsel Robert Mueller about a potential interview of the President, Fox News informed.
A source for Fox News said that this interview will not take place before the November midterms. However, the source dodged a question about the odds of Trump answering questions posed by the special counsel.
Earlier this month, Fox News reported that Trump’s lawyers had proposed to Mueller that the presidential interview should be limited to written questions and answers about the allegations of Russian collusion with members of the Trump campaign.
Mueller has previously asked for the option of an in-person follow-up interview on the collusion issue, which Trump’s team is resistant to but has not rejected outright.
Trump has repeatedly stated that he is willing to answer the special counsel’s questions, while his legal team — led by Rudy Giuliani and Jay Sekulow — has shown more reluctance to allow such an encounter.
