WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump's White House prevented a former aide from answering more than 200 questions posed by Democrats in Congress who are investigating whether Mr Trump interfered with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe, according to a transcript released on Monday .
The Democratic-controlled committee called those confidentiality concerns a"sham principle" that has not been recognised as legitimate in court.Ms Donaldson's silence meant little light was shed on incidents outlined in Mr Mueller's 488-page report, including an alleged effort by Mr Trump to have Ms Donaldson's boss, former White House Counsel Don McGahn, remove Mr Mueller from the investigation.
The report, released by Mr Mueller in redacted form in mid-April, cites Ms Donaldson as a source of information on Mr Trump's role in the departures of former national security adviser Michael Flynn and former FBI Director James Comey.
