Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's congressional testimony wasn't quite the ratings hit that Democrats had hoped for.

Nielsen said on Thursday that an average of 13 million people tuned in to watch Mueller testify on Wednesday about his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, The Hollywood Reporter writes. This figure factors in those who watched the testimony via CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, ABC, NBC, and CBS.
