Mark Corallo, former spokesperson for President Donald Trumps legal team, spoke with Special Counsel Bob Mueller earlier this week for over two hours, two people familiar with the matter told The Daily Beast. He isnt expected to go in for another interview, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The New York Times reported last month that Corallo’s conversation with Mueller would likely involve topics related to potential obstruction of justice.

One moment that might be of particular interest to the special counsel: a now-infamous flight back from the G-20 summit, when Trump and his close aides including his daughter Ivanka, Jared Kushner, and Communications Director Hope Hicks drafted a deceptive statement regarding Donald Trump Jr.s meeting with Kremlin-linked Russian nationals. According to the Times, Corallo was in a position to tell Mueller that Hicks once claimed the presidents sons emails about that meeting would never get out.

Corallo departed the White House shortly after Trump lambasted Attorney General Jeff Sessions in an interview with the Times. Corallo vocally defended Sessions during his hard-fought confirmation process, and people close to him told The Daily Beast that he found it hard to stomach the president’s criticism of the attorney general.

Or just a spokedweeb?

If he is an attorney, muehler must have found a way to penetrate privilege. Which means he has evidence of criminal activity.
