Pence: We're 'fully cooperating' with Mueller investigation

Vice President Pence on Wednesday said the Trump administration is “fully cooperating” with special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

“We’re fully cooperating with the special counsel and we’ll continue to. But I’ve got to tell you, it’s just not been a focus of mine,” Pence said on “The Ingraham Angle.”

Two people have been indicted and two have pleaded guilty thus far as part of Mueller’s probe, including former Trump campaign chairman Paul ManafortPaul John ManafortJudge warns Manafort not to discuss case with media Manafort involved in drafting op-ed defending his Ukrainian work: court papers Trump went off on Manafort for suggesting he should not appear on Sunday shows: report MORE and former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was fired in February after misleading Pence about his contacts with Russians. 

Trump has labeled the investigation a “witch hunt,” insisting there was no collusion between his campaign and Russia.

Pence said Wednesday that the administration hasn’t been focused on “whatever Washington D.C. has been focused on,” adding that when he meets voters on the road, they don’t bring up the investigation.

“So we’ll let the special counsel do their job and continue to cooperate, but we’re going continue to focus on our job, and I think that’s exactly what the American people want us to do,” Pence said.

Mueller’s team has obtained thousands of emails from Trump’s transition team, which Pence led. A lawyer for the transition team argued Mueller seized the emails illegally, but Mueller’s team said all the emails were obtained properly.

Mueller has interviewed a number of White House officials in recent weeks, including White House counsel Don McGahn, communications Director Hope HicksHope Charlotte HicksTrump campaign staffer: Hope Hicks ‘loves Trump like a father’ Mercedes Schlapp joins White House as senior communications adviser Hope Hicks named Trump’s third White House communications director MORE and senior adviser Stephen Miller.

Aides for the vice president said earlier this month they were nervous Pence would be summoned for an interview as part of the investigation, according to CNN.
