Former special counsel Robert Mueller has arrived on Capitol Hill for historic testimony before lawmakers in back-to-back House hearings on his probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and possible obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump.
Mueller was reluctant to appear before Congress, and only agreed to appear under subpoena from both panels."The report is my testimony," he said in his only public statement on the report in May.Mueller arrived amid a crush of reporters and cameras for his congressional testimony in front of the House Judiciary Committee but made no comment.
Lawmakers have spent weeks preparing for the hearings, and continued to prepare for the back-to-back rounds of questioning well into Tuesday evening, fielding a last-minute request from Mueller that Aaron Zebley, his longtime chief of staff, be sworn in to appear alongside him in front of the committees. A committee spokesman said Zebley would appear with Mueller on Wednesday as his counsel.
Trump has attacked Mueller ahead of the hearing, and said he may"see a little bit of it" on television.
