One source suggested Flynn and Comey are the top areas of interest.

Mueller has reportedly been looking into whether Trump obstructed justice in the Russia probe by firing Comey, the former FBI official tasked with leading the investigation before Mueller's appointment.

Comey previously said in testimony before Congress that Trump urged him to back off Flynn in the early stages of the federal probe.

Mueller's investigators also hope to learn the extent of Trump's knowledge of the phone calls Flynn made with Russians before joining the White House. Flynn was fired for lying to the FBI about that communication.

The president's team is reportedly discussing conditions for accepting such a sit-down meeting with Mueller, and Trump may also begin tapping more lawyers for his team to prepare for the possibility.

The two sides are expected to agree to a date for the interview within the next few weeks, CNN reported.
