Talks between President Trump's legal team and Special Counsel Robert Mueller have collapsed, according to NBC News, and so Russia investigators are looking to move forward without a presidential interview.

On Monday, Trump's lawyers were working out some of the interview's final sticking points, when the law offices and the hotel room of the president's personal Michael Cohen were raided.

After that, the possibility of a sit-down between the president and the special counsel 'drastically dimmed,' NBC wrote, with a source telling the network that the Cohen raid 'significantly complicated' talks.

President Trump's lawyers have indicated that he won't be sitting down for an interview with Special Counsel Robert Mueller in the wake of his longtime lawyer Michael Cohen's office being raided by the FBI

Special Counsel Robert Mueller may be able to wrap up his probe earlier now that a presidential interview is likely off the table

Prior to the Cohen raid, Mueller's team had wanted to finalize a report on whether the president obstructed justice in the Russia investigation in the next few months, with three sources telling NBC News that report could have come as early as May or as late of June.

But now without a presidential interview, Mueller and his team may be able to wrap things up even sooner, as the lawyers won't have to prep for a sit-down with Trump.

NBC's story comes on the heels of President Trump complimenting himself for cooperating with Mueller.

'I have agreed with the historically cooperative, disciplined approach that we have engaged in with Robert Mueller (Unlike the Clintons!),' Trump wrote. 'I have full confidence in Ty Cobb, my Special Counsel, and have been fully advised throughout each phase of this process.'

Trump's tweet was in response to a Washington Post story which detailed a plan that former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon has been floating around town to scuttle the Russia probe.

Bannon told the Post that Trump's lawyer Ty Cobb should be 'fired immediately.'

Bannon left the White House in August and was further pushed out of Trump's orbit in the aftermath of the publication of Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury book, in which he was a source.

Aiding the Republican Party in losing a Senate seat in deep red Alabama in December also didn't help matters.

But as the Post reported Wednesday, Bannon has tried to telegraph strategies to Trump through White House aides and Congressional allies.

Bannon's latest scheme starts with the idea that President Trump should fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the man responsible for appointing Mueller to the Russia probe.

More recently, Rosenstein green-lit the FBI raid on the law offices and hotel room of Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen.

Beyond axing Rosenstein, Bannon advised that Trump no longer play ball with Mueller, and he suggested that by throwing Cobb – the White House attorney handling all Mueller-related stuff – under the bus the president may improve his legal situation.

'The president wasn't fully briefed by his lawyers on the implications' of not invoking executive privilege,' Bannon told the Post Wednesday. 'It was a strategic mistake to run over everything without due process, and executive privilege should be exerted immediately and retroactively.'

Bannon suggested that Trump should now invoke that executive privilege, making Mueller's interviews with various White House officials null and void.

Even if Trump is tempted to fire Rosenstein, his tweet Thursday indicates he'll give Bannon zero credit for the idea, as sources told the Post there is still bad blood.

'If you say his name in front of the president, it's not a pretty sight,' a senior administration official told the newspaper. 'The president really goes off about him.'
