House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler just asked Robert Mueller a series of questions about the special counsel's attempts to get an interview with President Trump.

Mueller said it was "true" that Trump refused to sit for an interview, despite his team's multiple attempts to secure the interview.

Here's the full exchange:

Nadler: Did the President refuse a request to be interviewed by you and your team?

Mueller: Yes.

Nadler: And Is it true you tried for more than a year to secure an interview with the President?

Mueller: Yes.

Nadler: And is it true that you and your team advised the President's lawyer that, quote, an interview with the President is vital to our investigation, closed quote?

Mueller: Yes.

Nadler: And is it true you also, quote, stated that it is the interest of the Presidency and public for an interview to take place, closed quote?

Mueller: Yes.

Nadler: But the President still refused to sit for on interview by you and your team?

Mueller: True.
