Rep. Jerrold Nadler gives Fox News' Chris Wallace a sneak peek of what to expect for the Mueller hearing
Remember Special Counsel Robert Mueller? Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) certainly does.
It was easy to lose sight of during this past week, as stories revolving around President Trump's racist tweets and maritime conflict in the Strait of Hormuz have dominated the headlines, but Mueller is set to testify before the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees on Wednesday about his two-year investigation into 2016 Russian election interference.
Appearing on Fox News Sunday, Nadler, the Judiciary Committee chair, told host Chris Wallace that he doesn't believe the public has moved on from the investigation. He also provided a very brief sneak peek about what type of questions to expect from the Democrats during the hearings. Spoiler: They're going to be very specific.

As for the Republicans? Nadler thinks they'll likely just be wasting their time by asking about alleged FBI misconduct.
At the end of the day, Nadler says, it is Trump's conduct which is under scrutiny, not the FBI's, and Nadler thinks there is "very substantial evidence" pointing toward the president being guilty of "high crimes and misdemeanors."
