Mueller ‘to ask ex-spokesman Mark Corallo about Trump’s misleading statement’
Mark Corallo may be questioned about reports that Trump had dictated a misleading statement on the meeting between his son and Russians
Donald Trump’s former legal spokesman may be asked by Special Counsel Robert Mueller to address claims that the US president dictated a misleading statement about his son’s meeting with Russian officials, it has emerged.
Mark Corallo had represented Trump’s outside lawyers amid the federal and congressional Russia inquiries until he resigned last summer.
Now he is expected to be interviewed as part of Mueller’s probe into possible collusion between Russia and the Trump election campaign within two weeks, a source with knowledge of the matter said.
Corallo may be asked about the claims that Trump dictated a misleading memo about the meeting between Donald Trump Jnr, members of Trump’s campaign staff, and Russians, the source said.
US intelligence agencies have determined that Moscow worked to sway the election towards Trump. Moscow has denied interference and Trump, a Republican, has said there was no collusion.
