SPECIAL COUNSEL Robert Mueller’s investigat­ors interviewe­d former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus on Friday.

Priebus’ lawyer, William Burck, said the one-time Trump administra­tion staffer sat down willingly with Mueller’s team.

“Mr. Priebus was voluntaril­y interviewe­d by Special Counsel Mueller’s team today. He was happy to answer all of their questions,” Burck said.

Mueller’s wide-ranging probe into Russian meddling in the presidenti­al election and potential collusion with President Trump’s campaign has haunted the West Wing for months.

Priebus stepped down as chief of staff in July, one of a string of high-profile departures from Trump’s tumultuous first few months in office.
