President Trump had reportedly made it clear on several occasions that he wanted to meet with Robert Mueller. He even said that he would love to do it.
If this meeting took place it could turn into the interview of the century. There had been so much hype about collusion with Russia that many believed Trump was guilty.
Whatever evidence was unearthed seemed to fall just short of implicating Trump. Quite a few of his colleagues were interviewed.
Subpoenas were issued and charges were placed on these individuals. Some pleaded guilty others not guilty. None of this brought investigators any closer to Russian collusion by Trump.
The meeting could be more focused on perjury even though questions regarding Russia were still on the table.
Mueller’s Questioning
It was reported that Mueller offered Trump’s lawyers the direction his questioning would take. This was done as negotiations to have the interview took place.
Some of the topics were based on James Comey stopping the investigation into Michael Flynn. Russian interference was also a topic to be discussed.
Trump’s lawyer Ty Cobb doesn’t want him to testify and believed it could be a way of trapping him.
“I would hope that a fair-minded Office of Special Counsel would approach it in a dutiful way consistent with precedent and it wouldn’t just be a perjury trap,” Cobb said.
