Now that most interested folks have read the Michael Wolff book, it’s time to put up a shiny object as other investigative actions occur…
The Trump legal team will worry about whether allowing Trump any kind of interview with Mueller’s team will give history a “I did not have sex with that woman” moment.
Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III has raised the likelihood with President Trump's legal team that his office will seek an interview with the president, triggering a discussion among his attorneys about how to avoid a sit-down encounter or set limits on such a session, according to two people familiar with the talks.
Mueller brought up the issue of interviewing Trump during a late December meeting with the president's lawyers, John Dowd and Jay Sekulow. Mueller deputy James Quarles, who oversees the White House portion of the special counsel investigation, also attended.
The special counsel's team could interview Trump very soon on some limited portion of questions — possibly within the next several weeks, according to a person close to the president who was granted anonymity to describe internal conversations.
Perhaps they can combine it with his Walter Reed visit, although it might be a media release by Trump’s legal team to convince Lord Dampnut that they are doing their jobs, and that the light at the end of the tunnel isn’t atop Trump Tower.
