President Donald Trump has no intentions to submit more written answers to Special Counsel Robert Mueller who is investigating allegations of Trump-Russia collusion in the 2016 US presidential elections, White House lawyer Rudolph Giuliani said in an interview on Thursday.
WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 27th December, 2018) President Donald Trump has no intentions to submit more written answers to Special Counsel Robert Mueller who is investigating allegations of Trump-Russia collusion in the 2016 US presidential elections, White House lawyer Rudolph Giuliani said in an interview on Thursday."[President Trump is] not answering any more questions from these people - they are outrageous activity... we did enough," Giuliani told Hill.TV.
Giuliani dismissed speculations earlier this month that Trump will sit down with Mueller for an interview.�
However, Giuliani told the Axios media outlet last week that Trump may or may not agree to provide few more answers related to Mueller's investigation after the White House legal team submitted a number of responses to the Special Counsel in November.
Giuliani criticized the Special Counsel's team saying it should be investigated itself for destroying 19,000 text messages between now-fired FBI agent Peter Strzok and co-worker Lisa Page with whom he had an affair. The messages contained statements against Trump, including expressions of desire to stop then-presidential candidate Trump from winning the 2016 election.
The White House is looking forward to ending of the investigation and remains confident there was no collusion between Trump and Russian officials during the 2016 race, Giuliani said.
Trump has characterized the Mueller probe as a political witch hunt that has not produced any evidence of collusion in well over a year.
Russia has repeatedly denied interfering in the US election and said the allegations had been invented to excuse the defeat of a presidential candidate as well as deflect public attention from actual instances of election fraud and corruption.
