Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller will testify in front of the
House Judiciary Committee and the House Intelligence Committee in
mid-July, officials said Tuesday.

Rep. Jerry Nadler, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee,
announced on Twitter that Mueller agreed to testify in an open
session on July 17 in accordance with a subpoena.

“Americans have demanded to hear directly from the Special
Counsel so they can understand what he and his team examined,
uncovered, and determined about Russia’s attack on our democracy,”
Nadler wrote in a statement.

In a letter to Mueller, Nadler and Intelligence Committee
Chairman Adam Schiff wrote that they “understand that there are
certain sensitivities associated with your open testimony. In
particular, the Special Counsel’s Office referred several criminal
investigations to other officers at the Department of Justice, and
certain matters are ongoing.”

But they added, “the American public deserves to hear directly
from you about your investigation and conclusions.”

“We will work with you to address legitimate concerns about
preserving the integrity of your work, but we expect that you will
appear before our Committees as scheduled,” they added..

Mueller completed his investigation into alleged collusion
between the Trump campaign and Russia in April, concluding the
campaign did not collude with Russia but not clearing him of
obstruction of justice.

The White House declined to comment Tuesday night.
