US Special Counsel Robert Mueller To Testify Publicly Over Russia Probe

Washington: US Special Counsel Robert Mueller will publicly testify over his Russia probe before the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees on July 17 following a subpoena, the panels’ chairmen have announced in a joint statement. Mueller will testify in front of both committees about his investigation against alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential elections. The statement was issued by Representative Jerrold Nadler, the Chairman of the Judiciary panel and Representative Adam Schiff, the Chairman of the Intelligence panel. The move paves the way for a reluctant special counsel to answer questions publicly for the first time about his 22-month investigation into President Donald Trump, the US media reported. Both panels had been negotiating for Mueller’s voluntary appearance for several weeks. (IANS)
