Trump Says Mueller Should Not Testify to Congress as Deadline for Full Report Expires
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today is the deadline set by House Democrats for Attorney General
William Barr to hand over Special Counsel Robert Mueller's full report
and underlying materials. Last week Jerry Nadler, chair of the House
Judiciary Committee, threatened to hold Barr in contempt if he failed to
submit the report by today's deadline. Last Thursday, Barr refused to
appear before the House judiciary panel for questioning about the
report. Meanwhile President Trump tweeted Sunday that Mueller should not
testify before Congress, adding "No redos for the Dems!" The tweet
reversed a statement two days prior, saying the decision about Mueller's
testimony should be up to Barr, who previously said he had no problem
with lawmakers questioning the Special Counsel. Lawmakers proposed May
15th as the date for Mueller's testimony.
