Sources close to the White House tell ABC News that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office responded to President Donald Trump’s legal team late last week regarding a potential interview with the president.
Sources describe a lengthy response from Mueller with a strong emphasis on requesting written answers as it relates to the original mandate of the investigation - Russian meddling in the 2016 elections.
The letter does not mention obstruction — but sources said they believe that will likely be part of negotiations with Mueller's team.
The letter does not take a potential in-person interview with the president off the table, sources say.
Reached by ABC News, the Trump legal team declined to comment.
