FBI/ROBERT MUELER/RUSSIA/SEAN SPICER: “President Donald Trump’s former press secretary Sean Spicer met with special counsel Robert Mueller’s team on Monday [10-16-17] for an interview that lasted much of the day, according to multiple people familiar with the meeting.
During his sitdown, Spicer was grilled about the firing of former FBI director James Comey and his statements regarding the firing, as well as about Trump’s meetings with Russians officials including one with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in the Oval Office, one person familiar with the meeting said.
Spicer declined to comment. His attorney, Christopher Mead, did not respond to multiple calls and emails requesting comment.
Spicer’s interview has long been expected as part of Mueller’s ongoing and widening investigation into Russia’s potential interference in the 2016 presidential election. Before joining the Trump administration, Spicer served as press secretary to the Republican National Committee, and then worked out of Trump Tower during the end of the general election campaign and during the transition, as part of the Republican nominee’s team.”
