Special counsel Robert Mueller‘s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election appears to be coming to a head.

Over the last several days, reports have surfaced in the American media that Mueller, who began his work last May, has been making his way rapidly up through the highest ranks of staffers and government officials surrounding Donald Trump, and is potentially preparing to question the president himself under oath.

Trump responded by saying he would welcome such an interview.

On Thursday, Trump’s lawyer, John Dowd, released a one-page memo detailing what he called “unprecedented” co-operation with Mueller from the Trump administration. That, according to Dowd, has included handing over 20,000 documents, plus voluntary interviews with 20 former and current White House officials.

The names of those people were not included, but over the past nine months, sources have disclosed at least some of them to media outlets like CNN, the New York Times and the Washington Post.

Here’s a look at who has been questioned by Mueller’s team, and how they connect to the president.
