Report: House Judiciary Committee Says Agreement Reached To Have Mueller Testify

Special counsel Robert Mueller will testify before the House Judiciary Committee at a date to be decided, Reuters reported Wednesday.

Per Reuters, committee Chairman Jerry Nadler said Mueller will testify on his redacted final report on Russian election meddling and related matters sometime in May.

Update: Politito’s Kyle Cheney disputed Reuter’s reporting, saying Nadler was instead speaking more generally. 

There's NO "agreement" to have Mueller testify. Nadler was referring to Barr's earlier public statement that he was fine with Mueller testimony.

Reports to the contrary are not correct.

TPM has reached out to the committee for comment.

Mueller’s much-sought-after testimony became more urgent after a March 27 letter from him to Attorney General Bill Barr surfaced Tuesday in which Mueller told Barr that the March 24 letter the attorney general released a couple days after receiving Mueller’s final report “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this office’s work and conclusions.”
