'Interview' with Mueller 'seems unlikely' to happen: Donald Trump

Donald Trump

President Donald Trump today hinted that it "seems unlikely" that he would allow Special Counsel Robert Mueller to "interview" him in the ongoing probe into the potential links between the Trump campaign and Russia in the 2016 US presidential election.

Mueller and congressional committees investigating the matter have yet to reach a conclusion about whether any collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia took place.
Mueller, a former highly decorated FBI director, has already interviewed several of the close aides and family members of Trump over the issue.

In the last one week, news reports have appeared in the US media that Mueller was seeking an interview with Trump as part of his investigation.
Trump's attorneys were said to have asked whether it could be in the written format.
At a joint news conference here with Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg, Trump hinted that the interview was unlikely to happen.

"We'll see what happens. I mean, certainly I'll see what happens. But when they have no collusion and nobody's found any collusion at any level, it seems unlikely that you'd even have an interview," Trump said.
He termed the allegations as a "Democratic hoax brought up as an excuse for losing an election".
