Robert Mueller set to testify before Congress

WASHINGTON, D.C. (NBC News) – We’re less than 24 hours away from what’s sure to be the showstopper in Washington, D.C. this week: testimony from former special counsel Robert Mueller.

Mueller will discuss his report on Russian election interference, which did not indict or clear President Trump on obstruction of justice.

The letter clarified that “any testimony must remain within the boundaries of your public report because matters within the scope of your investigation were covered by executive privilege.”
