Donald Trump opposed to Bob Mueller testifying before congress
Hindustan TimesA US House of Representatives committee will vote Wednesday to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of congress for missing a Monday deadline for handing over an un-redacted version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian meddling. Trump’s reversal of stand came shortly after a member of the House of Representatives’ judiciary committee said on a Sunday TV show a tentative deal had been reached for Mueller to appear before the panel on May 15. “The committee urgently requires access to the full, un-redacted Mueller Report and to the investigatory and evidentiary materials cited in the Report.” The department of justice released a redacted version of Mueller’s report on April 18 saying details from grand jury hearings had been blacked out from the report, along with some other information. Barr’s summary, which was released days before the full report, had exonerated President Trump from conspiring with the Russian meddling in the 2016 elections and obstructing justice.
