Questions for Trump

WASHINGTON: Special counsel Robert Mueller has given a list of almost four dozen questions to lawyers for US President Donald Trump as part of his investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and whether Trump obstructed justice, according to a report published in The New York Times.

The questions range from Trump’s motivation for firing FBI director James Comey to contacts his campaign had with Russians.

Although Mueller’s team has indicated to Trump’s lawyers that he’s not considered a target, investigators remain interested in whether the president’s actions constitute obstruction of justice, and want to interview him about several episodes in office.
