reporter: question four. who directed former national security adviser michael cohen s contacts with former russian ambassador kislyak? why did flynn lie about the conversations? what did mr. trump know about them? some people say he lied. some people say he didn t lie. i mean, really, it turned out maybe he didn t lie. reporter: who at the trump campaign directed roger stone to get information about upcoming wikileaks disclosures in the clinton campaign? and did anyone connected to the trump campaign help wikileaks curate the e-mails? russia, if you re listening, i hope you re able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. reporter: and there are more questions. will anyone else be charged? will president trump be subpoenaed? why has the president obfuscated, attacked, and misdirected if he has nothing to hide? why doesn t the president want to get to the bottom of what
