last month with the special counsel robert mueller's investigators to discuss a possible interview with the president. a cnn reported, the questions roughly fall into four categories -- and they deal with firing of james comey, the former fbi director, and michael flynn, the former national security adviser as well as the president's dealings with attorney general jeff sessions and the potential coordination between the trump campaign and russians. the questions published by "the new york times" show a focus on the president's state of mind during key events. it's clear from some of the questions that despite the president's claims that collusion is off the table, the mueller investigators are still pursuing questions of whether anyone broke the law in those repeated contacts between trump campaign associates and people the fbi believes were russian government operatives. christine, dave? >> thanks, evan. joining us this morning here in new york cnn political analyst, julian and in washington, political economist
