Trump Won't Commit to Interview with Special Counsel Mueller
------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump refused to say Wednesday whether he'd commit to being
interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller over allegations that his
campaign worked with Russia to influence the 2016 election. Trump was
responding to a question about a New York Times report this week that
Mueller informed Trump's lawyers last month that he will probably seek
to interview the president, although Mueller has not yet sent a formal
request for the interview. Fielding questions alongside Norwegian Prime
Minister Erna Solberg, Trump said any interview "seems unlikely," and
repeated the phrase "no collusion" eight times in his roughly one-minute
answer.
