This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information or to volunteer, please visit LibriVox.org. Recording by Kathleen Nelson. Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election by Robert Mueller, Section 25, Appendix C. Introductory note. The President provided written responses through his personal counsel to questions submitted to him by the Special Counsel's Office. We first explained the process that led to the submission of written questions and then attached the President's responses. Beginning in December 2017, this office sought for more than a year to interview the President on topics relevant to both Russian election interference and obstruction of justice. We advised counsel that the President was a subject of the investigation under the definition of the Justice Manual. A person whose conduct is within the scope of the grand jury's investigation. Justice Manual, Section 9 through 11.151, 2018. We also advised counsel that an interview with the President is vital to our investigation and that this office had carefully considered the constitutional and other arguments raised by counsel and they did not provide us with reason to forego seeking an interview. We additionally stated that it is in the interest of the Presidency and the public for an interview to take place and offered numerous accommodations to aid the President's preparation and avoid surprise. After extensive discussions with the Department of Justice about the Special Counsel's objective of securing the President's testimony, these accommodations included the submission of written questions to the President on certain Russia related topics. We received the President's written responses in late November, 2018. In December, 2018, we informed counsel of the insufficiency of those responses in several respects. We noted, among other things, that the President stated on more than 30 occasions that he does not recall or remember or have an independent recollection of information called for by the questions. Other answers were incomplete or imprecise. The written responses we informed counsel demonstrate the inadequacy of the written format as we have had no opportunity to ask follow-up questions that would ensure complete answers and potentially refresh your client's recollection or clarify the extent or nature of his lack of recollection. We again requested an in-person interview limited to certain topics, advising the President's counsel that this is the President's opportunity to voluntarily provide us with information for us to evaluate in the context of all the evidence we have gathered. The President declined. Redaction, grand jury. Recognizing that the President would not be interviewed voluntarily, we considered whether to issue a subpoena for his testimony. We viewed the written answers to be inadequate, but at that point our investigation had made significant progress and had produced substantial evidence for our report. We thus weighed the cost of potentially lengthy constitutional litigation with resulting delay in finishing our investigation against the anticipated benefits for our investigation and report. As explained in volume two, section two, part B, we determined that the substantial quantity of information we had obtained from other sources allowed us to draw relevant factual conclusions on intent and credibility, which are often inferred from circumstantial evidence and assessed without direct testimony from the subject of the investigation.

I have no recollection of learning at the time that Donald Trump Jr., Paul Manafort or Jared Kushner was considering participating in a meeting in June, 2016 concerning potentially negative information about Hillary Clinton. Nor do I recall learning during the campaign that the June 9, 2016 meeting had taken place, that the referenced emails existed or that Donald J. Trump Jr. had other communications with Amin Agalarov or Rob Goldstone between June 3, 2016 and June 9, 2016. Response to question one, part D. I have no independent recollection of what portion of these four days in June of 2016 I spent in Trump Tower. This was one of many busy months during a fast-paced campaign as the primary season was ending and we were preparing for the general election campaign. I am now aware that my campaign's calendar indicates that I was in New York City from June 6 through 9, 2016. Calendars kept in my Trump office reflect that I had various calls and meetings scheduled for each of these days. While those calls and meetings may or may not have actually taken place, they do indicate that I was in Trump Tower during a portion of each of these working days and I have no reason to doubt that I was. When I was in New York City, I stayed at my Trump Tower apartment. My Trump Organization desk calendar also reflects that I was outside Trump Tower during portions of these days. The June 7, 2016 calendar indicates I was scheduled to leave Trump Tower in the early evening for West Chester where I gave remarks after winning the California, New Jersey, New Mexico, Montana and South Dakota Republican primaries held that day. The June 8, 2016 calendar indicates a scheduled departure in late afternoon to attend a ceremony at my son's school. The June 9, 2016 calendar indicates I was scheduled to attend midday meetings and a fundraising luncheon at the Four Seasons Hotel. At this point, I do not remember on what dates these events occurred, but I do not currently have a reason to doubt that they took place as scheduled on my calendar. Widely available media reports including television footage also shed light on my activities during these days. For example, I'm aware that my June 7, 2016 victory remarks at the Trump National Golf Club in Breyercliffe, Manor, New York were recorded and published by the media. I remember winning those primaries and generally recall delivering remarks that evening. At this point, I do not remember whether I spoke or met with Donald Trump Jr., Paul Manafort or Jared Kushner on June 9, 2016. My desk calendar indicates I was scheduled to meet with Paul Manafort on the morning of June 9, but I do not recall if that meeting took place. It was more than two years ago at a time when I had many calls and interactions daily. Response to question one, part E. I have no independent recollection of any communications I had with the Aguilarov family or anyone I understood to be a representative of the Aguilarov family after June 3, 2016 and before the end of the campaign. While preparing to respond to these questions, I have become aware of written communications with the Aguilarovs during the campaign that were sent, received and largely authored by my staff and which I understand have already been produced to you. In general, the documents include congratulatory letters on my campaign victories, emails about a painting and meaning and Aras Aguilarov arranged to have delivered to Trump Tower as a birthday present and emails regarding delivery of a book written by Aras Aguilarov. The documents reflect that the deliveries were screened by the Secret Service. Response to question one, part F. I do not recall being aware during the campaign of communications between Donald Trump Jr., Paul Manafort or Jared Kushner and any member or representative of the Aguilarov family, Robert Goldstone, Natalia Veselnitskaya whose name I was not familiar with or anyone understood to be a Russian official. Response to question one, part G. In remarks I delivered the night I won the California, New Jersey, New Mexico, Montana and South Dakota Republican primaries, I said, I am going to give a major speech on probably Monday of next week and we're going to be discussing all of the things that have taken place with the Clintons. In general, I expected to give a speech referencing the publicly available negative information about the Clintons, including for example, Mrs. Clinton's failed policies, the Clinton's use of the State Department to further their interests and the interests of the Clinton Foundation, Mrs. Clinton's improper use of a private server for State Department business, the destruction of 33,000 emails on that server and Mrs. Clinton's temperamental unsuitability for the office of president. In the course of preparing to respond to your questions, I have become aware that the campaign documents already produced to you reflect the drafting evolution and sources of information for the speech I expected to give probably on the Monday following my June 7, 2016 comments. These documents generally show that the text of the speech was initially drafted by campaign staff with input from various outside advisors and was based on publicly available material, including in particular information from the book Clinton Cash by Peter Schweitzer. The Pulse nightclub terrorist attack took place in the early morning hours of Sunday, June 12, 2016. In light of that tragedy, I gave a speech directed more specifically to national security and terrorism than to the Clintons. That speech was delivered at the St. Anselm College Institute of Politics in Manchester, New Hampshire, and as reported, opened with the following. This was going to be a speech on Hillary Clinton and how bad a president, especially in these times of radical Islamic terrorism, she would be. Even her former secret service agent who has seen her under pressure and in times of stress has stated that she lacks the temperament and integrity to be president. There will be plenty of opportunity to discuss these important issues at a later time and I will deliver that speech soon. But today, there's only one thing to discuss, the growing threat of terrorism inside of our borders. I continued to speak about Mrs. Clinton's failings throughout the campaign using the information prepared for inclusion in the speech to which I referred on June 7, 2016. Response to question one, part H. I have no recollection of being told during the campaign that Vladimir Putin or the Russian government supported my candidacy or opposed the candidacy of Hillary Clinton. However, I was aware of some reports indicating that President Putin had made complimentary statements about me. Response to question one, part I. I have no recollection of being told during the campaign that any foreign government or foreign leader had provided wish to provide or offered to provide tangible support to my campaign.

Were you aware of any efforts by foreign individuals or companies, including those in Russia, to assist your campaign through the use of social media postings or the organization of rallies? If yes, identify who you discussed such assistance with, when and the content of the discussions. Response to question two, part A. I do not remember the date on which it was publicly reported that the DNC had been hacked, but my best recollection is that I learned of the hacking at or shortly after the time it became the subject of media reporting. I do not recall being provided any information during the campaign about the hacking of any of the named entities or individuals before it became the subject of media reporting. Response to question two, part B. I recall that in the months leading up to the election, there was considerable media reporting about the possible hacking and release of campaign related information, and there was a lot of talk about this matter. At the time, I was generally aware of these media reports and may have discussed these issues with my campaign staff or others, but at this point in time, more than two years later, I have no recollection of any particular conversation when it occurred or who the participants were. Response to question two, part C. I do not recall being aware during the campaign of any communications between the individuals named in questions to see and anyone I understood to be a representative of WikiLeaks or any of the other individuals or entities referred to in the question. Response to question two, part D. I made the statement quoted in question two, D, ingest and sarcastically, as was apparent to any objective observer. The context of the statement is evident in the full reading or viewing of the July 27, 2016 press conference, and I refer you to the publicly available transcript and video of that press conference. I do not recall having any discussion about the substance of the statement in advance of the press conference. I do not recall being told during the campaign of any efforts by Russia to infiltrate or hack the computer systems or email accounts of Hillary Clinton or her campaign prior to them becoming the subject of media reporting. And I have no recollection of any particular conversation in that regard. Response to question two, part E. I was in Trump Tower in New York City on October 7, 2016. I have no recollection of being told that WikiLeaks possessed or might possess emails related to John Podesta before the release of Mr. Podesta's emails was reported by the media. Likewise, I have no recollection of being told that Roger Stone, anyone acting as an intermediary for Roger Stone or anyone associated with my campaign had communicated with WikiLeaks on October 7, 2016. Response to question two, part F. I do not recall being told during the campaign that Roger Stone or anyone associated with my campaign had discussions with any of the entities named in the question regarding the content or timing of release of hacked emails. Response to question two, part G. I spoke by telephone with Roger Stone from time to time during the campaign. I have no recollection of the specifics of any conversations I had with Mr. Stone between June 1, 2016 and November 8, 2016. I do not recall discussing WikiLeaks with him nor do I recall being aware of Mr. Stone having discussed WikiLeaks with individuals associated with my campaign, although I was aware that WikiLeaks was the subject of media reporting and campaign related discussion at the time. Response to question two, part H. I do not recall having had any discussion during the campaign regarding a pardon or action to benefit Julian Assange. Response to question two, part I. I do not recall being aware during the campaign of specific efforts by foreign individuals or media companies to assist my campaign through the use of social media postings or the organization of rallies. Three, the Trump Organization Moscow Project. A, in October, 2015, a letter of intent, a copy of which is attached as exhibit B, was signed for the proposed Trump Organization Project in Moscow, the Trump Moscow Project. One, when were you first informed of discussions about the Trump Moscow Project? By whom, what were you told about the project? Two, did you sign the letter of intent? B, in a statement provided to Congress attached as exhibit C, Michael Cohen stated, to the best of my knowledge, Mr. Trump was never in contact with anyone about this proposal other than me on three occasions, including signing a non-binding letter of intent in 2015.  C, did you learn of any communication between Michael Cohen or Felix Satter and any Russian government officials, including officials in the office of Dmitry Peskov regarding the Trump Moscow Project?  D, did you have any discussions between June 2015 and June 2016 regarding a potential trip to Russia by you and or Michael Cohen for reasons related to the Trump Moscow Project? If yes, describe who you spoke with, when, and the substance of the discussions. E, did you at any time direct or suggest that discussions about the Trump Moscow Project should cease or were you informed at any time that the project had been abandoned? If yes, describe who you spoke with, when, the substance of the discussions and why that decision was made. F, did you have any discussions regarding what information would be provided publicly or in response to investigative inquiries about potential or actual investments or business deals the Trump Organization had in Russia, including the Trump Moscow Project? If yes, describe who you spoke with, when, and the substance of the discussions. G, aside from the Trump Moscow Project, did you or the Trump Organization have any other perspective or actual business interests, investments, or arrangements in with Russia or any Russian interest or Russian individual during the campaign? If yes, describe the business interests, investments, or arrangements. Response to question three parts A through G. Sometime in 2015, Michael Cohen suggested to me the possibility of a Trump Organization Project in Moscow. As I recall, Mr. Cohen described this as a proposed project of a general type we have done in the past in a variety of locations. I signed the non-binding letter of intent attached to your questions as exhibit B, which required no equity or expenditure on our end and was consistent with our ongoing efforts to expand into significant markets around the world. I had few conversations with Mr. Cohen on this subject. As I recall, they were brief and they were not memorable. I was not enthused about the proposal and I do not recall any discussion of travel to Russia in connection with it. I do not remember discussing it with anyone else at the Trump Organization, although it is possible. I do not recall being aware at this time of any communications between Mr. Cohen or Felix Satter and any Russian government official regarding the letter of intent. In the course of preparing to respond to your questions, I have become aware that Mr. Cohen sent an email regarding the letter of intent to Mr. Peskov at a general public email account, which should show there was no meaningful relationship with people in power in Russia. I understand those documents already have been provided to you. I vaguely remember pressing inquiries and media reporting during the campaign about whether the Trump Organization had business dealings with Russia. I may have spoken with campaign staff or Trump Organization employees regarding responses to requests for information, but I have no current recollection of any particular conversation with whom I may have spoken, when or the substance of any conversation. As I recall, neither I nor the Trump Organization had any projects or proposed projects in Russia during the campaign other than the letter of intent. Four, contacts with Russia and Russia-related issues during the campaign. A, prior to mid-August, 2016, did you become aware that Paul Manafort had ties to the Ukrainian government? If yes, describe who you learned this information from, when, and the substance of what you were told. Did Mr. Manafort's connections to the Ukrainian or Russian governments play any role in your decision to have him join your campaign? If yes, describe that role. B, were you aware that Mr. Manafort offered briefings on the progress of your campaign to Oleg Deripaska? If yes, describe who you learned this information from, when, the substance of what you were told, what you understood the purpose was of sharing such information with Mr. Deripaska and how you responded to learning this information. C, were you aware of whether Paul Manafort or anyone else associated with your campaign sent or directed others to send internal Trump campaign information to any person located in Ukraine or Russia or associated with Ukrainian or Russian governments? If yes, identify who provided you with this information, when, the substance of the discussions, what you understood the purpose was of sharing the internal campaign information and how you responded to learning this information. D, did Paul Manafort communicate to you directly or indirectly any positions Ukraine or Russia would want the US to support? If yes, describe when he communicated those positions to you and the substance of those communications. E, during the campaign, were you told about efforts by Russian officials to meet with you or senior members of your campaign?

F, what role, if any, did you have in changing the Republican Party platform regarding arming Ukraine during the Republican National Convention? Prior to the convention, what information did you have about this platform provision? After the platform provision was changed, who told you about the change? When did they tell you what were you told about why it was changed and who was involved? G, on July 27, 2016, in response to a question about whether you would recognize Crimea as Russian territory and lift sanctions on Russia, you said, we'll be looking at that. Yeah, we'll be looking. Did you intend to communicate by that statement or at any other time during the campaign a willingness to lift sanctions and or recognize Russia's annexation of Crimea if you were elected? One, what consideration did you give to lifting sanctions and or recognizing Russia's annexation of Crimea if you were elected? Describe who you spoke with about this topic, when, the substance of the discussions. Response to question four parts A through D. Mr. Manafort was hired primarily because of his delegate work for prior presidential candidates including Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Bob Dole. I knew that Mr. Manafort had done international consulting work and at some time before Mr. Manafort left the campaign, I learned that he was somehow involved with individuals concerning Ukraine, but I do not remember the specifics of what I knew at the time. I had no knowledge of Mr. Manafort offering briefings on the progress of my campaign to an individual named Oleg Deripaska, nor do I remember being aware of Mr. Manafort or anyone else associated with my campaign sending or directing others to send internal Trump campaign information to anyone I knew to be in Ukraine or Russia at the time or to anyone I understood to be a Ukrainian or Russian government employee or official. I do not remember Mr. Manafort communicating to me any particular positions Ukraine or Russia would want the United States to support. Response to question four part E. I do not recall being told during the campaign of efforts by Russian officials to meet with me or with senior members of my campaign. In the process of preparing to respond to these questions, I became aware that on March 17, 2016, my assistant at the Trump Organization, Rona Graf, received an email from a Sergei Pridhodko who identified himself as a deputy prime minister of the Russian Federation, Foundation Rawls Congress inviting me to participate in the Petersburg International Economic Forum to be held in June 2016. The documents show that Ms. Graf prepared for my signature a brief response declining the invitation. I understand these documents have already been produced to you. Response to question four part F. I have no recollection of the details of what, when, or from what source I first learned about the change to the platform amendment regarding arming Ukraine, but I generally recall learning of the issue as part of media reporting. I do not recall being involved in changing the language to the amendment. Response to question four part G. My statement did not communicate any position. Five, contacts with Russia and Russia related issues during the transition. A, were you asked to attend the World Chess Championship Gala on November 10, 2016? If yes, who asked you to attend? When were you asked and what were you told about? About sick, why your presence was requested? One, did you attend any part of the event? If yes, describe any interactions you had with any Russians or representatives of the Russian government at the event. Response to question five part A. I do not remember having been asked to attend the World Chess Championship Gala and I did not attend the event. During the course of preparing to respond to these questions, I have become aware of documents indicating that in March of 2016, the president of the World Chess Federation invited the Trump Organization to host at Trump Tower, the 2016 World Chess Championship match to be held in New York in November, 2016. I've also become aware that in November, 2016, there were press inquiries to my staff regarding whether I had plans to attend the tournament, which was not being held at Trump Tower. I understand these documents have already been provided to you. Executed on November 20th, 2018, Donald J. Trump, President of the United States. End of section 25.
