Fox News' Chris Wallace calls testimony a 'disaster' for Mueller and Democrats


Fox News' Chris Wallace is ready to call it: former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's congressional testimony is a "disaster."
During the first break of Mueller's testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, Wallace concluded that the hearing "has been a disaster for the Democrats" as well as a "disaster for the reputation of Robert Mueller."
Wallace went on to pan Mueller's performance, saying the former special counsel has "seemed very uncertain" and "doesn't seem to know things that are in the report." Wallace also observed that Mueller has not adequately defended his integrity amid attacks from Republicans.
