When Robert Mueller testifies to the US Congress on Wednesday (Jul 24), Democratic lawmakers are expected to try to pin down the former special ...
Mueller is due to testify before two Democratic-controlled House of Representatives committees.
Mueller himself has criticised Barr's initial public account of the report's conclusions, saying in a letter that the attorney general did not fully capture the context, nature and substance of the investigation. Barr's initial description of the conclusions was contained in a Mar 24 letter to Congress that prompted Trump to claim"complete and total exoneration." The report was not released until Apr 18.
They are also expected to ask Mueller about passages in the report that stress the authority of Congress to protect the US judicial system against corrupt acts by a president. The report stated that"if we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. ... Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him."
