Numerous Key Mueller-to-Trump Questions and Answers Released
In the ongoing saga of the Russian “witch hunt”, as described by the President, we now know that Donald Trump has answered at least a few key questions held by the Special Counsel.

The release comes as many believe Robert Mueller is wrapping up his investigation into purported Russian collusion between the Trump 2016 campaign the the Russian government. His latest focus seems to be the timing of Trump’s knowledge of a late-campaign Wikileaks release of emails hacked and stolen from within the Hillary Clinton organization.
The material contained within these emails would invariably alter the outcome of the election, after it was exposed that Hillary Clinton had financially conquered the DNC, and then used that leverage to rig the primaries against Bernie Sanders.
