House Democrats haven’t even heard from Attorney General William Barr — as he refuses to appear — but that isn’t stopping them from nailing down a date for someone even more vital from the Russia investigation to appear. One Democrat said on Fox News Sunday when Robert Mueller will testify, only to clarify later on Twitter that Mueller has not confirmed the appointment.
“A tentative date has been set of May 15th and we hope the special counsel will appear,” Rep. David Cicilline of Rhode Island told Fox News. “We think the American people have a right to hear directly from him.”
Later — after The Washington Post reported on the comments — Cicilline expanded on what he meant through Twitter. “Just to clarify: we are aiming to bring Mueller in on the 15th, but nothing has been agreed to yet,” Cicilline wrote on Twitter. “That’s the date the Committee has proposed, and we hope the Special Counsel will agree to it.
