Mueller investigators questioned John Kelly in obstruction probe

White House chief of staff John Kelly was interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller's team in recent months, three people with knowledge of the matter told CNN.

Kelly responded to a narrow set of questions from special counsel investigators after White House lawyers initially objected to Mueller's request to do the interview earlier this summer, the sources said. Kelly is widely expected to leave his position in the coming days and is no longer on speaking terms with President Donald Trump, CNN reported earlier Friday.

Kelly is the latest high-ranking White House official known to provide information for Mueller's investigation, though his interview marks a departure of sorts since Kelly didn't join the White House until July 2017. Most of the dozens of other interviews have been with people who were associated with the Trump campaign, were part of the transition or served in the early part of the administration.

Mueller's people are anonymously leaking this to the media.

The White House counsel's office had initially fought the Mueller request. One source familiar with the matter said that Emmett Flood wanted to make sure "ground rules" were negotiated.

John Kelly works for Trump
John Kelly may have unpaid parking tickets from the period when Trump was running for office
Now do you see why he needs to be investigated?

Kelly is part of the coup. No questions. Just had him sign a sworn statement showing Trump lied.

I have always suspected him of being yet another Trojan Horse.

Donald Trump insists on hiring Swamp Creatures. There are trustworthy patriots outside of DC.

Now they went from saying that he would resign today to days! They are back tracking. CNN is the worst network ever.
