Washington (CNN)Special counsel Robert Mueller is seeking to interview President Donald Trump about his dismissal of former FBI Director James Comey and his former national security adviser Michael Flynn, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.
The Post, citing two people familiar with Mueller's plans, said the special counsel is seeking to ask Trump about the decisions that led to ousting Flynn as national security adviser in February and James Comey as FBI director in May.
The sources told the Post that Trump's legal team has worked out terms it could present to the special counsel "as soon as next week" and that the team hopes to have Trump's testimony only partially through a face-to-face interview, with other answers coming through a written statement.

As I predicted ...big news/leaks from Mueller this week BEFORE the memo os made public
It’s a trap?
He the President. He doesn't need a reason.....................
Don’t do it Trump!!! Say you want to wait until things shake out with the memo and the missing FBI emails!
There is only one answer to why President Trump fired an underling:
“because I wanted to and it is completely within my purview to do so. The door is over there.”
When are we going to start seeing the 40% public - like some arrests. Would be awesome optics to have Mueller show up to interview the President, he greets him with US Marshalls and Mueller gets frog marched to prison.
I can dream, I guess.
Trump is going to reach up Mueller’s ass and pull his heart out.
Submit your questions in writing Mueller...and our President will take a look at them when he gets a chance.
And.. ? Who cares, there is no there there so Mulehead can’t find anything and with his side falling apart he won’t have the balls to make something up.
It’s a trap?

Yes. And if Mueller has even half a brain cell - he won’t step into it.
It’s not so much that Mueller wants to ask President Trump Questions - It the ANSWERS that he must give to Trump (and all of America) regarding his collusion with Clinton, Comey and the FBI/DOJ plots to assassinate Donald Trump.
some of Trump’s close advisers and friends fear a face-to-face interview with Mueller could put the president in legal jeopardy. A central worry, they say, is Trump’s lack of precision in his speech and his penchant for hyperbole.
When he enters Trump’s office, Trump should tell him YOU’RE FIRED, LEAVE.
People close to Trump have tried to warn him for months that Mueller is a “killer,” in the words of one associate, noting that the special counsel has shown interest in the president’s actions.
Roger Stone, a longtime informal adviser to Trump, said he should try to avoid an interview at all costs, saying agreeing to such a session would be a “suicide mission.”
“I find it to be a death wish. Why would you walk into a perjury trap?” Stone said. “The president would be very poorly advised to give Mueller an interview.”
Trump is a deal-maker. “Sure I’ll answer some questions, HOWEVER here’s what I want you to do for me”. No way would he walk into a trap ... It has a big ROTATING NEON SIGN above it that says “TRAP” .. those of us who don’t know legalese know better than to respond to that. I wonder what Trump is asking for from hi side? Would be interesting to know.
Give Trump the same conditions that Hillary got — Mueller has to confirm for Trump, before the interview, that the investigation won’t lead to any prosecutions. He also has to let Trump have several attorneys in the room with him.
Until an actual person is quoted, no one should believe a word from the Post or CNN. Fake fake fake fake lies
Trump could always just claim “executive privilege” on grounds of “deliberative process” and let Mueller drag his request through the courts for a few months.
That can only mean he's angling for an Obstruction charge for the purposes of impeachment.
