tell Congress where her White House office was located. This latest DOJ effort to limit how much can come out at the hearings, however, seems to play into Mueller's own thinking, as the former special counsel has made clear that he intends for his testimony to be bound by his report.
“These are private individuals who no longer work at the Department of Justice,” a Judiciary Committee official told Politico. “And although we acknowledge that these are career department officials who give quite a bit of deference to what the department says, the department cannot order them to do anything.”The high likelihood that Mueller will stick to the script still isn't lessening Democrats' optimism that the testimony could be a boon to their cause, though.
