| Robert Mueller |
WASHINGTON – Former special counsel Robert Mueller
has made few public statements since his May 2017 appointment to
investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election and potential
coordination with the Trump campaign.
Though
the results of his work were made public in a 448-page report in April,
many on Capitol Hill and around the country were anxious to hear from
him directly about the investigation. After some wrangling, debates and
delays, on Wednesday Mueller finally appeared to testify before
Congress.
Mueller insisted that his testimony
would not go beyond what was in his report but members of the House
Judiciary Committee nonetheless did their best to get Mueller to say
more about what he learned in his nearly two-years on the case.
Through
it all, the stoic Mueller kept his cool and kept his vow to stick with
what was in the text of his report. But there were still some fireworks
and moments of humor during his more than four-hour appearance.Mr. Mueller avoided all the hard questions just as we knew he would.
