Trump refuses to answer Mueller Grand Jury questions

Trump legal team balks at Mueller's questions on post-2016 election activity

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump and his legal team have taken issue with some of the questions from special counsel Robert Mueller that cover the transition period after the 2016 election, believing it could be off limits under executive privilege as they pertain to the presidency, according to a source familiar with the negotiations.

The source would not explicitly say whether the President answered those questions other than to say that there are "responses" to all of the questions that were asked.

Trump's lawyers had previously made the case to Mueller's team that the President would only answer questions related to collusion about events that took place before the 2016 election.

Or, is it simply moving down the page too fast for it to obtain sufficient readership?

You do not ask written questions,you ask the person face to face. You issue Indictments based on evidence and that is presented before the Panel by the authorized legal professional.
