ROBERT MUELLER/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “U.S. President Donald Trump has submitted written answers to questions from Special Counsel Robert Mueller in his probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign, Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani said on Tuesday [11-20-18]…Giuliani said Trump did not plan to answer any questions from Mueller on whether he tried to obstruct the investigation once he won office, such as by firing former FBI Director James Comey…Trump signed the submission on Tuesday before he left Washington to spend the Thanksgiving holiday in Florida, a person familiar with the matter said. A spokesman for Mueller, who was appointed special counsel in May 2017, declined to comment. Mueller was tasked to probe ‘any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation’ into possible collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia during the 2016 election.”
