Mueller to Testify in Open Congressional Hearing

VOA News

   U.S. President Donald Trump blasted former special counsel Robert
   Mueller, who agreed to provide open testimony before congressional
   committees next month.

   "The Mueller thing never stops," Trump said on the White House South
   Lawn before his departure to the G-20 summit in Osaka, Japan. "How many
   times do we have to hear it? It never ends," Trump said, adding his
   often-repeated line of no obstruction and blaming the Democrats for
   "criminal activities," calling it "the greatest hoax ever in the
   history of our country."

   The chairmen of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee and the House
   Intelligence Committee, Rep. Jerrold Nadler and Rep. Adam Schiff,
   announced in a letter late Tuesday that Mueller would appear July 17,
   and that they and all Americans looked forward to hearing from him.

   Mueller led a nearly two-year investigation into Russian interference
   in the 2016 election and allegations that Trump obstructed justice by
   trying to shut down the probe.
