Special Counsel Robert Mueller on Wednesday said that he hopes not to testify before Congress.
Mueller spoke publicly on Wednesday for the first time in two years to announce his resignation as special counsel and discuss the findings of his investigation into 2016 election interference. Although Democrats have called for him to testify before Congress, Mueller said that "I hope and expect this to be the only time that I will speak to you in this manner."
