Vice President Mike Pence’s outside lawyer met privately with special counsel Robert Mueller at Pence’s request last summer, according to a person familiar with the meeting.

The meeting, which has not been previously reported, was held at Pence’s request to express his willingness to cooperate with Mueller’s investigation, the person said.

Pence retained Richard Cullen, chairman of McGuireWoods and a former U.S. attorney, in June to represent him in the Russia probe. The meeting with Mueller took place soon after Cullen accepted the job. Pence’s office, Mueller’s office and Cullen all declined to comment.

The White House has repeatedly said it intends to cooperate fully with Mueller’s probe and has been providing relevant documents as requested.

1. I'm just wondering.....

Was the meeting actually with someone on Mueller's Team instead of Mueller himself?...Pence apparently sent his lawyer....so I don't think Mueller himself would sit down just with a lawyer without client....Just a thought.
