This did not go well for Republicans:
Q: Mr. Mueller, over here. Mr. Mueller, he did you indeed interview for the FBI director job one day before you were pointed as special counsel?
Mueller: My understanding it was not applying for the job. I was asked to give my input on what it would take to do the job, which triggered the interview you’re talking about.
Q: So you don’t recall on May 16th, 2016, that you interviewed with the president for the FBI director job?
Mueller: I interviewed about the president. It was about the job and not about me applying for the job.
Q: So your statement here today is that you didn’t interview to apply for the FBI director job?
Mueller: That’s correct.
