President Donald Trump has reportedly responded in writing to key questions from special counsel Counsel Robert Mueller about activities related to the 2016 presidential election.
Trump told Mueller that “Roger Stone did not tell him about WikiLeaks, nor was he told about the 2016 Trump Tower meeting between his son, campaign officials and a Russian lawyer promising dirt on Hillary Clinton,” CNN reported.
Mueller’s team of Democratic lawyers has reportedly been investigating “whether Stone, a Republican political operative and longtime Trump ally, knew in advance about WikiLeaks’ dumps of hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee and Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta at key times during the 2016 campaign.”
“I never discussed any of this with Donald Trump,” Stone told CNN. “It’s one of the questions that Mr. Mueller wants the President to answer — one of the written questions. I’m highly confident that his answer will be that he knew nothing about it. We just never discussed it.”
