Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee who will question former special counsel Robert Mueller next week plan to focus on a narrow set of episodes laid out in his report, an effort to direct Americans' attention to what they see as the most egregious examples of President Donald Trump's conduct
1 / 4Congress Mueller TestimonyFILE - In this May 29, 2019, file photo, special counsel Robert Mueller speaks at the Department of Justice in Washington, about the Russia investigation. To prepare for next week's high stakes hearing with Mueller, some Democratic members and staff are watching old video of his previous testimony. Others are closely re-reading Mueller's 448-page report.
The House Judiciary and intelligence committees will question Mueller in back-to-back hearings July 24. The testimony had been scheduled for July 17 but was delayed under a new deal struck with Mueller last week that would give him more time to prepare and give members more time for questioning. Still, time will be extremely limited, with an expected three hours for the Judiciary committee and two for the smaller intelligence committee.
Story continues"Members just need to focus," said Illinois Rep. Mike Quigley, a Democratic member of the intelligence panel."Nobody's watching them. Keep it short, keep focused, listen to each other, work together. Make this as productive as possible." "It's going to be fairly scripted," said Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal, another Democrat on the Judiciary panel."The main goal is to get Robert Mueller to say what Robert Mueller wrote in the Mueller report. And then get it on national TV, so people can hear him saying it."
Democrats on the House intelligence panel are expected to focus on the first volume of Mueller's report, which details multiple contacts between Trump's campaign and Russia. Mueller found that there was not enough evidence to establish a conspiracy between the two, prompting Trump's steady refrains of"no collusion."
