"The warning caused turmoil among Trump’s lawyers as they debated how to deal with Mr Mueller’s request for an interview, eventually leading to the Mr Dowd’s resignation."

Okay digging deeper....
The Washington Post’s Carol D. Leonnig and Robert Costa report that Mueller brought up the specter of a subpoena during a “tense meeting” on March 5 after Trump’s legal team told the special counsel’s office that the president had no obligation to speak with investigators:
It was then as a result of that meeting that Dowd resigned.
With those details in hand, Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow compiled a list of 49 questions that the team believed the president would be asked , according to three of the four people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk publicly

President Trump can tell Mueller to pound sand and there's not one thing he can do about it.
Trump wants the investigation to be over so he should just speak to Mueller and be done. Hasn't he been saying it is a "witch hunt" and no collusion? A genius that he is should be able to handle it.

No, he doesn't want it to be over. If he wanted it to be over, it would be over NOW. The witch hunt is good for 10 points in his landslide re-election in 2020!
Sure it is. As an investigator, can't compel the president to answer questions. Only a judge could do that at a trial. Even that wouldn't be 100%. In other words, what on Earth is he going to "subpeona"? Mueller is blowing a lot of hot air these days. Usually that means that someone is out of gas.
