Here are the Questions Robert Mueller Wants to Ask Trump

Political Cartoons by Chip Bok

The Stream  "Special Counsel Robert Mueller has submitted a list of 48 questions to President Donald Trump’s legal team he hopes to have answered in a prospective interview as part of the investigation into possible obstruction of justice and campaign collusion with Russia.
"The New York Times obtained the list of questions, which are moistly 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." . . .
