Mueller interviews former Trump legal spokesman: report
By Jacqueline Thomsen - 02/16/18 11:48 AM EST
A former spokesman for President Trump’s legal team interviewed with special counsel Robert Mueller on Thursday, The Daily Beast reported Friday.
Mark Corallo, who stepped down from the job in July, reportedly spoke with Mueller’s team for more than two hours on Thursday, and was reportedly planning on telling Mueller that White House communications director Hope Hicks might have been planning to obstruct justice.
The New York Times reported last month that Corallo planned to testify that Hicks told President Trump in a phone call that news of a 2016 meeting between Trump campaign staffers and a Russian lawyer in Trump Tower “will never get out.†The comment sparked concerns that Hicks might be considering obstructing justice.
The former spokesman also hired a pair of D.C. lawyers in anticipation of interviewing in the probe.
