Numerous legal experts have strongly advised that President Trump avoid an interview with special counsel Robert Mueller at all costs.

Investigators may very well have that goal in mind, especially since it appears they still have no evidence of actual collusion with Russia.

At least with a voluntary interview, he’d have one friend (his lawyer) in the room. Isn’t that’s what you’d choose?
