“Let's just say that I’m confident he’ll come in soon,” the House Judiciary Cmte. chairman said when asked where things stand on Robert Mueller's potential testimony.
WASHINGTON — House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said Wednesday that he’s “confident” special counsel Robert Mueller will come speak to Congress soon, and that he’s prepared to issue a subpoena to bring him in, if necessary.
“Let's just say that I’m confident he’ll come in soon,” Nadler said when asked where things stand on the former special counsel's testimony.Asked if he would need to issue a subpoena to compel Mueller's testimony, Nadler said: “We may. We will if we have to” — and suggested that he won’t wait too much longer to take that action.
“He has said ... he's willing to come and testify, make an opening statement and then testify only behind closed doors. We're not willing to do that,” Nadler said about Mueller. “We want him to testify openly. I think the American people need that. I think, frankly, it's his duty to the American people. And we'll make that happen.”
Ever since the 448-page redacted report was released in April, lawmakers have been in talks with Mueller so that he could testify before Congress publicly. But, he indicated that he did not want to testify before Congress. “I hope and expect that this is the only time that I will speak to you in this manner,” he said then.
“There has been discussion about an appearance before Congress. Any testimony from this office will not go beyond our report. It contains our findings and analysis and the reasons for the decisions we made,” he added. “The work speaks for itself. The report is my testimony.”
