“He will come at some point. If necessary, we’ll subpoena him, and he will come,” said the House Judiciary chairman.
A top House Democrat said Friday that Robert Mueller will not be testifying next week before a key committee investigating President Donald Trump in the wake of the special counsel’s report, a sign that tensions between the Justice Department and Democrats will continue.
The New York Democrat would not discuss the details of ongoing negotiations with Mueller and the Justice Department but said the reason for Mueller not yet testifying was because it “just hasn’t evolved, I think.” Although Nadler has not spoken with Mueller directly, he reiterated his vow to have Mueller testify at some point.He believes that Mueller will soon no longer be a Justice Department employee, due to the conclusion of the 22-month-long Russia investigation into election interference.
Barr said several times publicly since the report's release that he does not object to Mueller testifying to Congress, and the president once appeared to feel the same way. But over the weekend, in a tweet bashing Democrats wanting to hear his testimony, Trump said Mueller"should not testify. No redos for the Dems!"
