UPDATE: Trump submits answers to special counsel questions about Russian interference

Source: Washington Post



President Trump's attorneys on Tuesday submitted his written answers to a series of questions from special counsel Robert S. Mueller III about Trump's knowledge of Russia's interference in the 2016 campaign and its efforts to assist his 2016 White House bid.

The inquiries only include a portion of the questions that Mueller has sought to pose to Trump for nearly a year, when he first requested an interview with president. The topics cover activities during the campaign and do not delve into questions about whether Trump has sought to obstruct the probe into Russian interference.

One of Trump's attorneys said the answers will not provide any great surprises. "What I can tell you is they're complete and detailed," said Rudolph Giuliani. "But there's nothing there I haven't read in a newspaper."

The answers represent the first time Trump has given his own version of events to the special counsel's team in the 11 months ago since Mueller first asked for a sit-down interview with the president.

before anything more is resolved on the Mueller front.

I want it known that when tRump is indicted or worse, that if he takes action, the House will draw up articles of impeachment for this rat.

Anyone here think his answers will be the truth?

What a farce. I would be interested in seeing both the questions and the answers. I hope come January we get to.

Doesn't matter what the answers are, the only reality is that he did write the answers.

what information Mueller has. Trump most likely walked into a trap, albeit unwittingly.
