Adam Schiff Vows To Bring Mueller Before Congress To Testify If Necessary
New House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff made it clear to ABC's George Stephanopoulos that Democrats were not going to allow the Mueller report to be buried by the incoming Attorney General William Barr. Schiff vowed to subpoena the report and bring Robert Mueller to testify before Congress if necessary during an interview this Sunday:
STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, that gets to a question about the Mueller investigation. If it turns out, as the president has said so many times, that he did not collude with the Russians to interfere in the election, but, in fact, he was pursuing this Trump Tower at the same time, if that's not criminal, does Mueller have a responsibility to report it or no?
SCHIFF: He does have a responsibility to report it; and, in fact, if you take the position, and I think it's a flawed one, but if you take the position that the president cannot be indicted, and the only remedy for improper, illegal or other conduct is impeachment, then you cannot withhold that information from congress, or essentially the president has immunity. So that cannot be allowed to be the case. Bob -- or Bill Barr has committed in his testimony to making as much of the report public as he can. And the regulations allow him to make it all.
