Mueller’s testimony on Russia probe postponed
Special Counsel Robert Mueller's appearance in Congress next week to testify on the Russia election meddling probe and allegations of obstruction by President Trump has been postponed, the House Judiciary Committee announced Friday.
Mueller was originally scheduled to appear before the committee on July 17.
Committee chairmen Jerry Nadler and Adam Schiff released a statement saying the planned sessions would take place on July 24 for an "extended period of time."
Completed in March after a more than two-year investigation into Russian election meddling in the 2016 presidential election, the Mueller report documents numerous instances of attempted collusion between Trump's campaign and Russia, but found no grounds for criminal conspiracy charges. The report also listed ten occasions when Trump allegedly attempted to obstruct the investigation. But Mueller refrained from recommending criminal charges against the president, saying he had no power to do so.
