Robert Mueller Has Some Burning Questions For Trump
Special counsel Robert Mueller has led a witch hunt against Trump for well over a year.
Despite recent news that Democrats may be giving up their fight, Robert Mueller is still
coming after Trump.
Mueller has some burning questions for Trump—but may never get his answers.
Robert Mueller recently gave a list of 48 questions to President Trump's lawyer team,
expecting answers.
Mueller's questions involve a potential obstruction of justice case against Trump.
The Daily Caller reported:
The New York Times obtained the list of questions, which are mostly related to a potential obstruction
of justice case against Trump.
Five questions relate to Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser who was forced
to resign on Feb. 13, 2017.
Eighteen questions focus on James Comey, who Trump fired as FBI director on May 9, 2017.
Eight questions center on Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and 13 regard possible coordination
between the Trump campaign and Russian government.
Perhaps the most intriguing question regarding possible collusion is about Paul Manafort,
the former Trump campaign chairman.
"What knowledge did you have of any outreach by your campaign, including by Paul Manafort,
to Russia about potential assistance to the campaign?" one question reads.
It is not clear whether Mr. Mueller knows something new, but there is no publicly available
information linking Mr. Manafort, the former campaign chairman, to such outreach," The
Times noted.
Mueller has indicted Manafort on money laundering and bank fraud charges related to his work
for a Ukrainian political party several years before he joined the Trump campaign in April
2016.
Rick Gates, a former Manafort business partner and Trump campaign aide, is cooperating with
Mueller's prosecutors as part of a plea deal.
It remains unclear whether Mueller is investigating Manafort's campaign activities.
But some of Manafort's campaign emails showed he offered to provide campaign briefings to
Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch close to Vladimir Putin.
Mueller is still adamant about learning what happened during the infamous Trump tower meeting
as well.
The DailyCaller continued:
On the Russia front, Mueller also hopes to ask Trump when he first learned of the June
9, 2016, Trump Tower meeting.
Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., accepted the meeting with a Russian delegation after
being offered dirt on Hillary Clinton.
The meeting's participants, which included Manafort and Kushner, have claimed the meeting
was insignificant and a waste of time.
Mueller also wants to quiz Trump about whether he knew about Russian hacking during the campaign.
One of the unproven theories of collusion is members of the Trump campaign coordinated
with the Russian government to release emails stolen from the Clinton campaign and Democratic
National Committee.
Mueller may never get his answers from Trump, but one thing is certain—Democrats are grasping
at nothing at this point.
Do you believe Robert Mueller will get his answers from Trump?
