Hannity said his sources told him the list obtained by the Times is not what Mueller actually wants to ask Trump relating to the investigation into Russian interference in the presidential election.

Fox News contributor Sara Carter called the release a “disinformation campaign” from the Times to keep allegations of Trump-Russia collusion alive.

The Times reported late Monday that the questions appear to be more open-ended in an attempt to "penetrate the president's thinking."

Hannity blasted the article as “stupid.”

“This is how bad the press in this country is,” Hannity said. “They’re being fed lies, disinformation to manipulate the American people.”

The release is “clearly a leak” from the special counsel’s office, Hannity added.

A CNN legal analyst and former assistant to Mueller, however, said the language used in the questions indicates Trump's team leaked the list.

Michael Zeldin said the list reads like a set of notes and does not contain the grammar used by prosecutors.

“I think these are notes taken by the recipients of a conversation with Mueller’s office where he outlined broad topics and these guys wrote down questions that they thought these topics may raise,” Zeldin said Tuesday.

President Nixon’s White House counsel, John Dean, said on CNN late Monday that if the Trump administration did leak the list, it could qualify as obstruction of justice.
