US Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team wants to question President Donald Trump as part of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential elections. <br/><br/>Media reports today said, Mueller is trying to determine if Mr Trump's campaign advisers colluded with the Russian government to influence the election. <br/><br/>The investigation also reportedly involves a probe into whether the President obstructed justice when he allegedly asked ex-FBI Director James Comey to drop an inquiry into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. <br/><br/>Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his conversations with the Russian Ambassador, becoming the first senior White House official to cut a cooperation deal in Mueller's inquiry. <br/><br/>There has been no comment from Mr Muller's office, so far.<br/><br/>Mr Trump has been saying that he is ready to cooperate as he has nothing to hide.
