Vice President Mike Pence may be tapped for an interview with special counsel Robert Mueller, who is spearheading an investigation to determine if the Trump campaign colluded with Russia, according to a report Tuesday.
Although Pence has maintained he was unaware former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn spoke with former Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak about U.S. sanctions, court filings unsealed last week, along with new information revealed about Trump’s knowledge of certain events, suggest many advisers knew of Flynn’s communications with Kislyak.
Pence oversaw Trump’s transition team and was aware that Flynn had contacted Russia, but was not informed about Flynn’s discussion about the sanctions, transition officials told CNN. As a result, those close to Pence are concerned Mueller will press Pence for an interview with his team.
"They are preparing for that," said an anonymous source close to Pence.
"Chairing the transition would make it possible regardless of who it was," another source added.
Pence’s spokesperson denied that Pence is preparing for an interview with Mueller's team.
Lawmakers are also interested in hearing from Pence. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., has called for Pence to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee to provide insight into what he knew concerning Flynn’s contacts with Russians.

They are simply trying to create the illusion that they are getting closer to Trump. Then they will move to impeach.

Failing to play Muellers game would be in the interest of justice
“Speaking of Pence, he has been AWOL in defending Trump.”
I’m convinced he was in on the leaking of the ‘p***y grabbing’ tape. Mueller may have found his man.
When will the DNC be investigated????
