President Trump 'less inclined' to sit down with special counsel for interview after raid on personal attorney: Sources

In the wake of an early morning FBI raid on his personal attorney, sources close to President Donald Trump and his legal team say the president is “less inclined” to sit down for an interview with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team.

For the last several months, the Trump legal team has been having active negotiations with the Mueller team working toward a potential interview which would have included either a face to face interview with parameters, a written questionnaire or some mix of both, sources have told ABC News.

Yet in the wake of Monday’s FBI raid on the home and office of Michael Cohen, the president’s longtime personal counsel, multiple sources tell ABC News things might be changing and that the president per one source is “understandably less trusting” of Mueller and his team.

Multiple sources say advisers don’t know how to deal with the president’s frustration and are bracing for what he may do next. One source in close contact with the White House says any and all possibilities are in play.

3. Because

Trump probably wanted a conversation between gentlemen with Mueller and now realizes he won't get it.

Mueller did assure him recently he wasn't a target.

Perhaps the info in Cohen's files will change that?

Wonder if this is headed to an encryption saga, unlocking hard drives/usb sticks.
