Reports indicate that Special Counsel Mueller may wind up the investigation in as little as a few weeks but suggest it is also possible that the probe could last for several more months, perhaps even through the upcoming 2018 mid-term elections.

Since October, Mueller has indicted four former Trump aides including Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn, Rick Gates, and George Papadapoulos. Flynn and Papadapoulos have already pleaded guilty to their respective charges.

When journalists have pressed Trump on whether he would agree to be interviewed by Mueller he has given mixed signals, telling them "yes," "no" and "maybe" at various times. On Jan. 10 the president told reporters, "We'll see what happens."

Mueller has thus far not indicated if he will interview the president.
