\"\"International desk: Donald Trump says he has finished answering questions into alleged Russian meddling during the 2016 presidential campaign.<\/p>\n

The US leader told reporters he had personally answered the questions “very easily”, but that they had yet to be submitted to Robert Mueller's team, according to BBC report.<\/p>\n

Mueller has been looking into allegations of collusion between Mr Trump's campaign and Russia since 2017.<\/p>\n

Trump strongly denies any collusion, calling the probe “a witch hunt”.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, he took to Twitter to describe Mueller as “conflicted”, called the investigation “absolutely nuts”, adding that those involved in the long-running probe “are a disgrace to our nation”.<\/p>\n

The tweets came a week after he forced the resignation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, replacing him with Matthew Whitaker, who now has the power to sack Mueller or end the investigation.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters on Friday, he said the investigation had wasted “millions and millions of dollars” and “should never have taken place”.<\/p>\n

Trump also suggested the people who wrote the questions he agreed to answer “probably have bad intentions”.<\/p>\n

“I'm sure they're tricked-up because, you know, they like to catch people,” Trump said, after making it clear he had written the answers to the questions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
