CONGRESS/JUSTICE DEPARTMENT/ROBERT MUELLER/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “The Justice Department wrote a letter to Robert Mueller on Monday [7-22-19] about his upcoming congressional hearing, telling the former special counsel his testimony must adhere to the 448-page report he issued earlier this year. The testimony, the letter stated, ‘must remain within the boundaries of your public report because matters within the scope of your investigation were covered by executive privilege.’ The letter, sent in response to Mueller’s request for guidance about his testimony, is signed by Associate Deputy Attorney General Bradley Weinsheimer. Mueller is scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary and Intelligence panels Wednesday morning beginning at 8:30 a.m. ET. The former special counsel has been a reluctant witness, and is appearing before subpoena. Democrats plan to push Mueller on several aspects of his investigation as well as the question if he would recommend charges against President Donald Trump were he not the President.”
