The Washington Post offers six burning questions for Trump, focusing on his statements about the firings of National Security Adviser Michael Flynn and FBI Director James Comey.

Seth Abramson, legal pundit from the University of New Hampshire, poses 20 questions he says Trump is likely to face about the possibility of pre-inauguration collusion with Russian. Each question might involve 25 to 50 follow-up questions, Abramson says.

On many of these queries, Trump faces a dilemma. If he sticks to his story that nobody in his campaign had contact with Russia, which has been discredited by Donald Trump Jr.’s tweets and George Papadopoulos’ plea agreement, he risks making false statements under oath, something four of his aides have already been charged with.

If Trump changes his story, he risks confirming that he sought to obstruct the probe of his campaign, a central focus of Mueller’s investigation.

Wolff told BBC's Radio 4 that he overheard the president’s aides question his mental competence.

"The truth is, over this period that I witnessed, this seven or eight months, they all came to the conclusion gradually at first, then faster and faster, that something was unbelievably amiss here," Wolff explained. "That this was more peculiar than they ever imagined it could be.”
