Washington • The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee says special counsel Robert Mueller won’t appear before his panel next week, despite the committee’s hope that Mueller would testify May 15.
New York Rep. Jerrold Nadler said Friday that negotiations continue with Mueller and the Justice Department about the testimony. He wouldn’t characterize those talks.
Nadler said he expects Mueller to appear, and if he won't agree the committee will attempt to compel him.
The negotiations over Mueller's appearance come as Democrats are clashing with the Justice Department over access to Mueller's full report on the Trump-Russia investigation.
