Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump told reporters on Thursday that he would still "like to" testify before special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia's 2016 election meddling as well as potential obstruction of justice charges. "Yes, I would like to," Trump told CNN's Jeff Zeleny during an event on new tariffs against China. The statement came amid a shakeup of his legal team -- Trump's lead lawyer, John Dowd, resigned from the President's personal legal team handling the response to the Russia investigation. Trump's lawyers and Mueller's team are in the midst of negations over what topics an interview with the President could focus on. Trump has previously said he would like to talk to Mueller, but he and his lawyers have later walked back that claim.
