Robert Mueller to testify publicly before Congress on July 17

LA Times  

Former special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, who spent nearly two years leading the Russia investigation, has agreed to testify publicly before Congress on July 17, setting the stage for what will probably be the most anticipated day on Capitol Hill in recent memory. “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 said in a statement. The report included detailed evidence that Trump tried to limit the inquiry “to prevent further investigative scrutiny of the president’s and his campaign’s conduct.” Mueller declined to say whether Trump committed a crime in that regard, citing Justice Department guidelines that prevent bringing charges against a sitting president. “If we’re expecting the average member of Congress to do their job and read it themselves or the American people to read a 450-page report, that just isn’t going to happen,” said Rep. Ron Kind.
