WATCH LIVE: Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller Testifies on Capitol Hill

People’s Action will livestream former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony today on Capitol Hill. CLICK HERE to join our watch party with analysis by Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).

After the questions and answers are complete, then what? Former special counsel Robert Mueller will testify before Congress in a pair of public hearings on Wednesday as he answers questions from lawmakers in both major parties who are eager to hear him say out loud - and hopefully with additional context and substantive insights - the key findings of the report he submitted earlier this year after a nearly two-year investigation into alleged 2016 election interference and possible obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump. Mueller will testify before the House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Rep. Jerold Nadler (D-NJ), starting at 8:30 a.m. In a second hearing, scheduled to start at 12:00 PM, Mueller will appear before the House Intelligence Committee, chaired by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), to answer additional questions. Despite so much anticipation for Mueller’s testimony and endless speculation about how much he will say—or the widely held expectation that he says very little—it should still be interesting viewing. For informed progressives lwho argue that what’s contained in the Mueller report has already provided grounds for the initiation of impeachment proceedings against Trump, the biggest thing to watch for is not what Mueller says during the hearings, but what Democratic lawmakers do in the aftermath.
