The submission caps off months of high-stakes wrangling between Mueller’s team and the president’s lawyers about what answers Trump would provide for investigators.
Trump’s attorneys have long maintained they would only answer questions pertaining to allegations that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 election, and not inquiries about whether Trump obstructed the federal investigation into the interference.

The Mueller probe is a huge scam. Never in American history has so much time and money been wasted on a BS investigation which has yet to uncover a scintilla of evidence that collusion even exists. Only the dopey still have faith in this nonsensical probe.
