With Mueller still on DOJ staff, Barr has sway over his testimony
1 / 2Attorney General William Barr testifies during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, May 1, 2019, on the Mueller report.
Barr has said repeatedly he doesn't object to Mueller testifying. But he may defer to the wishes of Trump, who tweeted last weekend:"Bob Mueller should not testify. No redos for the Dems!" Trump has long known the power of televised images and feared that Americans would be captivated by seeing — and hearing — Mueller, who has not spoken publicly since being named special counsel.
Rep. Jerrold Nadler, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said last week the committee was"firming up the date" for Mueller's testimony and hoping it would be May 15. If the Justice Department tries to block Mueller's testimony, Democrats could issue a subpoena to try to compel his appearance.
