I live UK and my American employer may want to send me to USA with my job. But I have a conviction for assault. No prison. Will USA refuse visa?

I work for American company in their UK office

There is the possibility they will ask me to travel to headquarters.

I don't want to be embarrassed. So do I preempt matters and say I have no interest in traveling so as to avoid being told by US immigration I can't travel?
