Mueller team so far has indicated 4 main areas it wants to ask the President about

Source: CNN

Washington (CNN)Special counsel Robert Mueller's team has so far discussed with President Donald Trump's lawyers four main topics they want to talk about with the President.

According to two sources, the areas that the special counsel investigators have indicated they want to pursue with Trump are the President's role in crafting a statement abroad Air Force One that miscast Donald Trump Jr.'s campaign June 2016 meeting with Russians in Trump Tower, the circumstances surrounding that Trump Tower meeting as well as the firings of FBI Director James Comey and national security adviser Michael Flynn.

One of the sources said the bulk of the topics conveyed surround the President's actions with the Comey and Flynn firings.

The topics are not the extent of Mueller's interest, but, based on discussions between the two sides, they represent significant areas of focus so far for a Trump interview.

"Yes, I've always been interested in Russian adoptions!" said the liar in chief. Just a big f-ing cherry on the top of the fact that *someone* has probably testified that trump was the one ordering that coverup while aboard AF1.
