Pence: "I'll talk to a special advisor

Vice President Mike Pence said he would request an interview with Special Advisor Robert Mueller if asked.

"I would do it, I would be more than willing to continue to provide all possible support for that," Pence said in an interview broadcast on CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday. "And we have an external adviser who will advise me accordingly."

Mueller and his team are investigating Russian interference in the 2016 elections and exploring the links between the Trump campaign and Russia. On Sunday, Pence told interviewer Margaret Brennan that the Mueller team had not touched on the subject of an interview.

"He did not" asked to interview, Pence said. "Although we have provided all the information and we will continue to do so."

Mueller is disputed with the legal team of President Donald Trump during an interview. Trump's lawyer, Rudy Guiliani, said last week that the president's legal team and Mueller's team disagreed over the terms of a meeting, whether the Prosecutors could ask questions about the obstruction of justice and whether written answers could be in preparation. Trump also said that he was open to the interview in good conditions.

And although Trump has publicly denigrated Russia's investigation as a "witch hunt" intended to undermine him, Pence said on Sunday that the investigation was not a "target" for him or the president.

"It's just not my goal, and it's not the president's goal," Pence said. "I mean the reason we realize the progress we are making across the country, rebuilding our armed forces, restoring America's strength in the world, seeing an opportunity for peace on the peninsula Korean. "
