BREAKING: The New York Times Obtains List of Questions Mueller Has for Trump

For weeks now we’ve heard about reports that special counsel Robert Mueller wants to speak with President Trump. Well, we apparently have some of the questions he wants to ask.

The New York Times has obtained a list of questions Mueller has for the President, including:

The majority relate to possible obstruction of justice, demonstrating how an investigation into Russia’s election meddling grew to include an examination of the president’s conduct in office. Among them are queries on any discussions Mr. Trump had about his attempts to fire Mr. Mueller himself and what the president knew about possible pardon offers to Mr. Flynn…

A few questions reveal that Mr. Mueller is still investigating possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia…

Through his questions, Mr. Mueller also tries to tease out Mr. Trump’s views on law enforcement officials and whether he sees them as independent investigators or people who should loyally protect him.

And if you’re wondering how the Times obtained the list, the report explains the President’s lawyers received the questions and made up the list, then “a person outside Mr. Trump’s legal team” gave the document to the paper.

Specific questions include “What did you know about phone calls that Mr. Flynn made with the Russian ambassador, Sergey I. Kislyak, in late December 2016?” and “Regarding the decision to fire Mr. Comey: When was it made? Why? Who played a role?” and “Did you discuss whether Mr. Sessions would protect you, and reference past attorneys general?”
