Pence says Mueller has not interviewed him

Source: The Hill

BY EMILY BIRNBAUM - 10/28/18 05:25 PM EDT

Vice President Pence told NBC News Saturday that he has not been interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller's team as part of its investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

The comment comes more than a month after Pence said he would be "more than willing" to sit down with the special counsel.

"Have you been interviewed by the special counsel’s office?" NBC's Vaughn Hillyard asked Pence during a wide-ranging interview aired on Sunday "I have not," Pence replied.

… have set conditions for an interview, through his lawyers. He is a liar even when he's telling the truth (about not being interviewed). He's much sneakier than Trump.

#1 He has not gotten far enough along to have a reason or need to talk to Pence yet.
#2 He has cleared Pence of any wrong doing.
#3 Pence is in his crosshairs.
Personally, I lean more towards #3 than any of the others.
