President Donald Trump says he is "looking forward" to being interviewed under oath by special counsel Robert Mueller, who is leading the investigation of Russia's meddling in the 2016 US election.

Mueller is also looking into whether the Trump campaign cooperated with the Russians, and whether Trump obstructed justice as the investigation got underway.

The special counsel has made significant strides in the Russia probe in recent months, which has led to federal charges against several Trump associates.
