How Democrats and Republicans are approaching their questioning of Robert Mueller
After opening statements by Mr. Mueller and the top Republican and Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, the panel has now used up about 20 minutes. That leaves two hours and 40 minutes for questions -- or 160 minutes, when it will take 205 minutes if all members are to get five minutes of time.
Mr. Mueller says he will not be able to answer questions about areas he knows are of public interest, including questions about the opening of the FBI’s Russia ivestigation. Nor will he talk about his relationship with Attorney General William Barr, who Democrats have accused of unveiling the findings in a favorable light for Mr. Trump.
"I therefore will not be able to answer questions about certain areas that I know are of public interest."The investigation didn't establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired with the Russian government in its election interference activities.
