Robert Mueller's testimony will offer Democrats the first chance since the release of his report to directly question the former special counsel.
After issuing a subpoena and securing Robert Mueller's testimony for mid-July, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said Wednesday that the former special counsel's appearance before Congress will have a"profound impact" on whether the committee opens an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
"I would not provide information beyond that which is already public in any appearance before Congress," he added in his rare public statement made on May 29. "I don't know, it might," Nadler told reporters when prompted whether Mueller's testimony could strengthen calls for an impeachment inquiry among Democrats."But I think it will have a profound impact because the Russians attacked our democracy, the Trump campaign certainly welcomed that assistance."
"The Russians attacked our democratic election with the goal of helping Trump win the election," Nadler continued."The Trump campaign welcomed that help."
