Congressman David Cicilline (D-RI) said yesterday that a tentative date of May 15 has been set for Special Counsel Robert Mueller to testify before the House Judiciary Committee about his Russia report.
Speaking to Fox News Sunday, the congressman said, “We think the American people have a right to hear directly from him.”
When asked if Mueller would show up to the hearing, Cicilline said, “Obviously, until the date comes, we never have an absolute guarantee. The White House has so far indicated they would not interfere with Mr. Mueller’s attempt to testify; we hope that won’t change.”
Yesterday, President Trump railed against the Democrats’ plan to call Mueller to testify, writing on Twitter, “After spending more than $35,000,000 over a two year period, interviewing 500 people, using 18 Trump Hating Angry Democrats & 49 FBI Agents – all culminating in a more than 400 page Report showing NO COLLUSION – why would the Democrats in Congress now need Robert Mueller…….to testify. Are they looking for a redo because they hated seeing the strong NO COLLUSION conclusion? There was no crime, except on the other side (incredibly not covered in the Report), and NO OBSTRUCTION. Bob Mueller should not testify. No redos for the Dems!”
….to testify. Are they looking for a redo because they hated seeing the strong NO COLLUSION conclusion? There was no crime, except on the other side (incredibly not covered in the Report), and NO OBSTRUCTION. Bob Mueller should not testify. No redos for the Dems!
