2016 ELECTION/LEGAL/ROBERT MUELLER/RUSSIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Special Counsel Robert Mueller is seeking to interview the former spokesman of President Donald Trump’s legal team as part of an investigation into potential collusion between Russia and Trump’s campaign to sway the 2016 U.S. presidential election, according to a source with knowledge of the matter.
Mark Corallo had represented Trump’s outside lawyers amid the federal and congressional Russia inquiries until he resigned last summer. A source familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the interview was expected within two weeks. Corallo may be questioned about reports that Trump had dictated a misleading statement on a meeting in June 2016 that his son held with a group of Russians, the source said.
U.S. intelligence agencies have determined that Moscow worked to sway last year’s election toward Trump. Moscow has denied interference and Trump, a Republican, has said there was no collusion… Corallo’s departure in July came amid media reports that Trump’s legal team was reorganizing and considering ways to limit Mueller’s probe. Corallo did not want to engage in or be associated with White House attacks on Mueller and top Justice Department officials, according to a person familiar with the matter.”
