Washington (CNN)Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team has approached the White House about interviewing staffers who were aboard Air Force One when the initial misleading statement about Donald Trump Jr.'s meeting with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower was crafted, three sources familiar with the conversations said.

The special counsel's discussions with the White House are the latest indication that Mueller's investigators are interested in the response to the Trump Tower meeting. Mueller wants to know how the statement aboard Air Force One was put together, whether information was intentionally left out and who was involved, two of the sources said.

Mueller's questions could go to the issue of intent and possible efforts to conceal information during an obstruction of justice investigation. The answers to Mueller's questions also could illuminate the level of anxiety surrounding the meeting and the decision-making that followed.

The interviews with White House staffers who were aboard Air Force One have not begun, the sources said. They currently involve only a small number of people, but the sources cautioned that number could increase. At this time, Mueller has not asked to interview President Trump. Trump Jr. was on the Hill Thursday for an interview with the Senate Judiciary Committee.

3. He should have told the investigating "staff" I forgot my board game "Clue"

Once a traitor always a traitor.....................all he had to do was make a phone call to the FBI.....................

And now he flies on Air Force One and has jacket like his daddy.

I know this is serious, but he's an idiot.....................tell the truth, this isn't about being naive, that defense is BS, and it was business deal.........more BS

He needed to watch Rachel Maddow connect the dots instead of trying to go on a right wing propaganda show and called Hannity to blow more smoke out of his proverbial ass with help from Hannity. You know I look at this way, when he went on that show, him and Hannity had to talk, what did they say before the show---------------is Hannity going to have to meet with the investigators............... they are toast.....................
