Washington • Former special counsel Robert Mueller will testify to Congress in a public session next month about his investigation of Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and possible obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump, a reluctant witness long sought by House Democrats.
The House Judiciary and Intelligence committees, in a late-night announcement Tuesday, said that, “pursuant to a subpoena,” Mueller has agreed to appear before both panels on July 17. Mueller, who oversaw the 22-month investigation, is perhaps the one individual from whom lawmakers and the nation have been wanting to hear the most.
