—>Today, Rick Gates contradicted Trump’s written answers to Mueller’s questions.

Trump said he did not "recall" any conversations with Roger Stone re WikiLeaks & he first learned about the hacked emails "at or shortly after the time it became the subject of media reporting." 1/
2/ Former deputy campaign chair Gates testified that he was riding in a Chevy Suburban from LaGuardia Airport in New York in mid-2016 when Trump took a late-evening phone call from Stone, where the pair apparently discussed WikiLeaks' planned release of hacked Democratic emails.
3/ “After Mr. Trump got off the phone with Mr. Stone, what did Mr. Trump say?" prosecutor Aaron Zelinsky asked Gates. "He indicated more information would be coming," Gates responded, in testimony at Stone's criminal trial in Washington.
4/ Gates said two secret service agents also witnessed the call. The call happened days after WikiLeaks' first release on July 22, 2016, of emails the Russian military hacked from the Democratic National Committee.
5/ This testimony was redacted from Mueller report since Stone trial was still to come.

Can it still be credibly claimed the Mueller report presented the full picture of Trump’s knowledge of 2016 Russian interference?
