Jay Sekulow, the legal representative for Trump, approached the inquiries from the special counsel by compiling them into a series of pointed questions. He strategically leaked these questions to the public, suggesting that they were the actual inquiries being posed by the special counsel. This tactic aimed to frame the narrative surrounding the investigation.

In Michael Wolff's book "Siege: Trump Under Fire," this incident exemplifies the legal strategies employed by Trump's team in response to the scrutiny from special counsel. The act of leaking the questions not only influenced public perception but also highlighted the contentious relationship between Trump's legal defense and the ongoing investigation into his activities.
