WASHINGTON _ 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.
The announcement was made Tuesday evening by Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., chair of the House Judiciary Committee, and Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., chair of the House Intelligence Committee. They said the agreement was reached after they issued Mueller a subpoena.
"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. "We look forward to hearing his testimony, as do all Americans."
