Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III is seeking to question President Trump in the coming weeks about his decisions to oust national security adviser Michael Flynn and FBI Director James B. Comey, according to two people familiar with his plans.
Mueller’s interest in the events that led Trump to push out Flynn and Comey indicates that his investigation is intensifying its focus on possible efforts by the president or others to obstruct or blunt the special counsel’s probe.
Trump’s attorneys have crafted some negotiating terms for the president’s interview with Mueller’s team, one that could be presented to the special counsel as soon as next week, according to the two people.
The president’s legal team hopes to provide Trump’s testimony in a hybrid form — answering some questions in a face-to-face interview and others in a written statement.
Screw the idea of written statements.
Mueller and his investigators need to interview Trump face to face, because THAT is when Trump will choke like the little bitch we know him to be.
(Remember the Lester Holt interview?)
Besides, written responses will come from his attorneys, NOT from Trump himself.
We also learned today that Mueller has ALREADY questioned Jeff Sessions.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions was questioned for several hours last week by the special counsel’s office as part of the investigation into Russia’s meddling in the election and whether the president obstructed justice since taking office, according to a Justice Department spokeswoman.
The meeting marked the first time that investigators for the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, are known to have interviewed a member of Mr. Trump’s cabinet.
The spokeswoman, Sarah Isgur Flores, confirmed that the interview occurred in response to questions from The New York Times.
Every day Mueller just keeps getting closer and closer to his main target.
Kind of like a shark circling a wounded swimmer.
And now it appears he is stretching out his jaws to take a big bite out of Trump's tangerine tinged nether regions.
