* Asks about campaign 'links' with Russia, and Trump's actions after election
* Focuses heavily on firing of Comey and Mike Flynn, and recusal of Jeff Sessions
* Hints that a major focus of the probe has become potential obstruction charges
* Reveals FBI suspects Paul Manafort of 'outreach' to Russia for campaign help
* Trump has not formally agreed to be interviewed by investigators

The questions that Special Counsel Robert Mueller handed to Donald Trump's lawyers have been leaked, and the president is furious.
Mueller recently sent the list of nearly four dozen questions to Trump's attorneys amid ongoing negotiations about what topics he might address if he agreed to meet with investigators. The New York Times first published the list.
The questions are wide-ranging and open-ended, and suggest a major interest in potential obstruction charges – a concept that the president was quick to mock on Tuesday.
Trump tweeted his fury at the leak on Tuesday morning, defending himself against what he sees as politically motivated, manufactured claims that motivated Mueller's appointment in the first place.
