ROBERT MUELLER/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump on Friday [11-16-18] said he has answered a list of questions from Robert Mueller about his dealings with Russia and other matters being investigated by the special counsel. However, the president said he has not yet submitted his responses to the special counsel’s office. Trump has long derided the investigation as a ‘hoax,’ claiming that there was ‘no collusion’ between his campaign and Russian actors to influence the 2016 presidential election. Trump also signaled he is confident about his answers and behavior, a rhetorical point he and his legal team have tried to push as the probe is seen as nearing its resolution…Trump also insisted that he personally wrote the answers to the long list of questions — ‘142 items’ — amid speculation that his lawyers wrote the responses. Mueller has been trying to extract answers from Trump for nearly a year, as his office negotiated with presidential attorneys over deposing their client, a proposition Trump roundly rejected.”
