House Democrats told The Daily Beast on Tuesday that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is open to testifying before Congress about his report on Russian meddling in the 2016 election, but the Justice Department has been reluctant to schedule a date.
The Washington Post and other news organizations reported Tuesday that Mueller sent Attorney General William Barr a letter in late March, telling Barr that the four-page summary of Mueller's report he sent to Congress "did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance" of his work. Barr is scheduled to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, but there are concerns he might skip a Thursday hearing in front of the House Judiciary Committee.
