Trump's written answers this week will not address any questions about whether the president tried to obstruct the special counsel's probe, the source told Reuters.

According to CNN, the president met with his legal team on Monday to review his answers.

Trump's lawyers and the special counsel's team have not yet agreed on whether Trump will submit to a sit-down interview with Mueller or answer any questions about possible obstruction of justice.

Multiple sources told CNN this week that Mueller's team is working on its final report.

Trump's written answers are being finalized shortly after he appointed acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker to oversee the special counsel investigation, a move that Democrats have criticized as an attempt to undermine Mueller's work.

A source familiar with the matter told CNN that they believe the Trump legal team will continue to approach Mueller's questions the same way, despite the shakeup in leadership at the Justice Department.
