Key questions Mueller could face when he testifies this week:
Lawmakers will get the chance to question one of Washington’s most elusive figures on Wednesday after House Democrats triumphed in requiring former special counsel Robert Mueller to testify in public before two congressional committees.
Specifically, did Mueller punt to Congress because Justice Department policy precludes prosecuting a president in office? “We have questions about the counterintelligence investigation and the role of the agents within his team, to questions about some of the prosecutorial decisions that were made. We have fact questions about some of the statements that were made in the report,” Schiff said. “So there are any number of issues that we wish to cover with him.”
Rep. Jackie Speier, a California Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, put a finer point on Democrats’ intentions. More than 90 House Democrats – roughly one-third of their caucus -- now support pursuing impeachment proceedings, even as the public’s desire lags behind. According to an ABC News/Washington Post poll taken after the Mueller report was released, 56% of Americans opposed impeachment.
But staking so much on Mueller's appearance, Democrats risk falling flat – and Republicans hope to capitalize on the opportunity.
