Special counsel Robert Mueller assured President Trump’s attorneys last month that he was not the target of the ongoing, 11-month probe involving Russia but he indicated prosecutors continued to investigate him.
Mueller also told Trump’s attorneys that the president needed to be interviewed to determine whether he broke the law, The Washington Post first reported. Trump’s legal tea has resisted interviews so far, though the president has said he “looks forward” to sitting down with Mueller under oath.
The Post also revealed that Mueller is preparing a report on whether Trump is suspected of colluding with Russia to meddle in the election or if he obstructed justice.
Trump continues to insist he is the victim of a “witch hunt” led by rogue leaders in the FBI and Justice Department.
Some legal and political observers say Mueller may be trying to lure Trump into an interview by raising his hopes that he won’t be charged.
