Special counsel Robert Mueller has agreed to testify in a public hearing on July 17, the chairmen of the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees announced Tuesday night.
“Pursuant to subpoenas issued by the House Judiciary and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence tonight, Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III has agreed to testify before both Committees on July 17 in open session,” Reps. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and Adam Schiff (D-CA) said in a statement.
“Americans have demanded to hear directly from the Special Counsel so they can understand what he and his team examined, uncovered, and determined about Russia’s attack on our democracy, the Trump campaign’s acceptance and use of that help, and President Trump and his associates’ obstruction of the investigation into that attack,” they added. “We look forward to hearing his testimony, as do all Americans.”
Mueller had initially pushed to testify behind closed doors and later make the transcripts public, but Nadler remained adamant that the special counsel testify in public. Mueller has also said that any testimony he provides would not go beyond the report.
Fake news. Everyone knows the white house will prohibit it due to executive privilege.
This might be, just might be, what convinces Nancy to move forward with the inquiry part of the proceedings.
The open session part of this might be the match to the tinder.
Four months – and Mueller is probably going to claim “investigative privilege” if not “executive privilege”
mean while, Anne McDougal has decided that being in her third trimester means she doesn’t have to testify for another five months — and Nadler is a-ok with that.
the House Democratic leadership is just pathetic.
I think we made a previous error that Mueller and his report would give us some kind of silver bullet that would somehow fix GOP treasons.
I think we should suspend expectations about M’s testimony next month and its following impacts (if any).
Can we assume that the GOP will not somehow block Mueller’s testimony?
There you go again. Why do you continue to trash Pelosi’s prudent leadership when it has led to Mueller’s agreeing to testify?
Why all the venom?
