1. Trump says interview with Mueller team 'seems unlikely'

President Trump declined to say Wednesday whether he would submit to an interview with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team if it requests one in its investigation into Russian election meddling, saying it "seems unlikely" he would be questioned. "I'll speak to attorneys," Trump told reporters at the White House. "We'll see what happens." Trump's attorneys reportedly expect Trump to be interviewed by Mueller's team. Trump, defending his firing of former FBI Director James Comey, said last June that he would "100 percent" be willing to give Mueller a sworn statement. Trump, however, called investigations by Mueller a "witch hunt," and a "Democrat hoax."
