Trump said in a tweet Wednesday that there was no obstruction of justice on his end. Trump called referred to the probe as a "setup" and a "trap."

There was no Collusion (it is a Hoax) and there is no Obstruction of Justice (that is a setup & trap). What there is is Negotiations going on with North Korea over Nuclear War, Negotiations going on with China over Trade Deficits, Negotiations on NAFTA, and much more. Witch Hunt! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 2, 2018

The tweet came after The New York Times earlier this week obtained a list of questions Mueller reportedly wants to ask Trump.

One of the questions referenced reports about Trump's desire to fire Mueller in an attempt to have the probe shut down.

"What discussions did you have regarding terminating the special counsel, and what did you do when that consideration was reported in January 2018?" one question said.
