According to CNN’s Pamela Brown, Sarah Huckabee Sanders has been interview by Special Counselor Robert Mueller, or a member of his team.

“The President urged me, like he has everyone in the administration, to fully cooperate with the special counsel. I was happy to voluntarily sit down with them,” Sanders said in response to a question from CNN.

The interview is one of the final known interviews by Mueller’s team. It came around the same time as the special counsel interviewed former White House chief of staff John Kelly, well after a number of other senior officials, including former White House communications director Hope Hicks and former press secretary Sean Spicer, were brought in for questioning.

The White House did not immediately agree to grant the special counsel an interview with Sanders, according to one of the sources. Similarly, as CNN reported in December, White House lawyers initially objected to Mueller’s request to interview Kelly, who ultimately responded to a narrow set of questions from special counsel investigators.

While the substance of the interview with Sanders is unclear, one likely area of interest was how Sanders composed statements she made on the podium defending the President regarding the Russia investigation.

Twitter was surprised:

So @PressSec (the lying mouthpiece of Trump) was interviewed by Mueller today. Uh oh Sarah, better line up your legal counsel and get your affairs in order. I hope you are not counting on a pardon.

Look…just because I was interviewed doesn’t mean I talked to the special council. Look, people talk to council all the time and it isn’t special. Look just because I speak for the administration doesn’t mean I speak for the administration
