Trump could be interviewed 'within weeks'

US President Donald Trump could be interviewed 'within weeks' by special cpunsel Robert Mueller as part of the investigation into Russian collusion.

Special counsel Robert Mueller has told US President Donald Trump's legal team that his office is likely to seek an interview with him as part of its Russia probe, and one could take place within weeks, the Washington Post reported on Monday.

The Post, citing a person close to Trump, said an interview on some limited portion of questions was possible within the next several weeks.

Mueller brought up the issue of interviewing Trump during a meeting with the president's lawyers in late December, the Post reported.
