WASHINGTON — While discussions are underway about President Donald Trump possibly speaking with special counsel Robert Mueller's team, FBI investigators have not so far requested an interview with Vice President Mike Pence, a person familiar with the matter said.
Pence — who has been a key figure during moments in the Trump campaign, transition and White House that Mueller is investigating — would cooperate with a request for an interview, this person said. "Our position has always been that if asked we'll cooperate," this person said.

A second person familiar with the matter said the special counsel has not indicated an interest in interviewing the vice president, beyond initial document requests early on.
The president's legal team has been discussing the . possible parameters and scope of an interview with the special counsel's office as part of its investigation into Russia's meddling in the 2016 election and possible collusion with the Trump's campaign, NBC News has reported.
