Former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus was interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller's team on Friday, according to his lawyer, William Burck.
“Mr. Priebus was voluntarily interviewed by Special Counsel Mueller’s team today. He was happy to answer all of their questions," Burck said.
The interview, which took place at the special counsel's office, was expected as part of Mueller's sprawling Russia-related investigation. Priebus had been preparing for several weeks, according to people who spoke with him.
Mueller's team is expected to interview a number of other current and former White House aides, including former press secretary Sean Spicer, current chief counsel Don McGahn and communications director Hope Hicks.
I know that Trump is forcing his staff and administration to sign NDA's but I wonder if those hold up to interrogation by Mueller's team?
After all Trump humiliated Priebus during his entire time with the White House. One would think that he would not be terribly determined to keep his former bosses secrets for him.
And we certainly know that Priebus knows him some secrets.
In other news Roger Stone may, or may not, have revealed the guy who connected him to Julian Assange.

An attorney for Roger Stone says the longtime confidante to President Donald Trump has complied with the House Russia investigators' request for him to provide the identity of his intermediary to WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange.
But Stone's attorney, Grant Smith, would not say whether that meant Stone had in fact revealed the identity of his WikiLeaks go-between to the House intelligence committee.
"Mr. Stone has complied with the committee's requests. No further statement will be issued," Smith said, declining to answer any additional questions.
I do not have a lot of faith in this House investigation and to not expect them to come up with much, but hopefully if they get any information it is being fed to the Special Counsel.
Every day it seems we get just a little closer to the truth.
