Trump Says He's Completed Written Answers For Mueller, But Not Turned Them In
President Trump has completed written answers to questions about the Russia investigation from Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller.
The president told reporters on Friday that he wrote the answers, not his lawyers, and that he did so "very easily."
Trump said he suspected some of the questions were designed to be pitfalls and catch him in a "perjury trap" to induce to him to lie about things for which prosecutors might already have contradictory evidence.
"I'm sure they're tricked up," Trump said. Witnesses must be careful with questions designed "by people who probably have bad intentions," he also said.
Trump said that he just finished the questions but that he has not actually submitted them to the special counsel's office. Although its investigation is a "hoax," he said, Trump also said he's heard it will probably wrap up soon and that "I'm sure it would be fine."

He wrote answers but didn't turn them in? What is this, middle school?
