Former U.S. special counsel to face questions from judiciary, intelligence committees
Former U.S. special counsel Robert Mueller has begun testifying in much-anticipated televised hearings on Wednesday morning, promising not to stray from findings released in his 448-page report nearly four months ago.
The first hearing, before the House judiciary committee, focuses on whether President Donald Trump illegally obstructed justice by attempting to seize control of Mueller's investigation. The subsequent intelligence committee hearing will dive into ties between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.
Back-to-back Capitol Hill appearances, Mueller's first since wrapping his two-year Russia probe in late March, carry the extraordinary spectacle of a prosecutor discussing in public a criminal investigation he conducted into a sitting U.S. president.
In opening statements Wednesday, judiciary committee chair Jerry Nadler of New York praised Mueller's work and the absence of leaks to the media in his nearly two years of work.
With respect to the the special counsel's findings on Trump, Nadler alleged, "Any other person who acted this way would have been charged with a crime."
