Special counsel Robert Muellers team has reportedly told President Donald Trumps attorneys that the president is not a criminal target of the probe, but he remains under investigation. According to The Washington Post, Mueller also told the presidents legal team that he is preparing a report about the presidents actions while in office and potential obstruction of justice. The special counsel is reportedly still seeking to interview Trump as part of the investigationnamely, to figure out whether he sought to criminally obstruct the probe. Trump attorney John Dowd, who vigorously opposed such a move, resigned last month, in part over disagreements about the president's legal strategy.

There aren't any solid requirements.

"Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III informed President Trumps attorneys last month that he is continuing to investigate the president but does not consider him a criminal target at this point. . . ."
More:
"In private negotiations in early March about a possible presidential interview, Mueller described Trump as a subject of his investigation into Russias interference in the 2016 election. Prosecutors view someone as a subject when that person has engaged in conduct that is under investigation but there is not sufficient evidence to bring charges."
He is collecting that evidence. He knows that when you go at the "king," you have to make sure to strike true, because you don't get a second chance.
