Trump Says He Would Speak To Mueller Under Oath In Russia Investigation 

President Trump said Wednesday he is “looking forward” to testifying before special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and that he would speak under oath.
 

“I would love to do it, and I would like to do it as soon as possible,” Trump said at the White House. “I would do it under oath, absolutely.”
The president suggested he was being investigated for obstruction of justice as part of the Russia investigation because he was “fighting back” and reiterated there was “no collusion” between his campaign and Moscow.
“Oh well, did he fight back?” Trump said, “You fight back, oh, it’s obstruction.”
Mueller’s team has told Trump’s lawyers they want to question the president about the firing of national security adviser Michael Flynn and FBI Director James B. Comey they have also asked witnesses in recent weeks about Trump’s attempts to oust Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
The president suggested the interview could take place in the next two or three weeks and said he continued to consult with his lawyers.

The president has previously criticized the wide-ranging investigation into his administration, calling it a “hoax” and a “witch hunt.”
Trump also said he didn’t recall asking acting FBI director Andrew McCabe whom he voted for in an Oval Office discussion earlier this year, as The Washington Post reported Wednesday night.

The conversation left former and current FBI officials concerned because they believed it was inappropriate for the president to ask a civil servant about his political leanings.

McCabe replaced Comey as head of the FBI until Christopher A. Wray was confirmed for the job in August.
