Schiff: Mueller can answer 'a great many questions' beyond his report

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Wednesday that lawmakers “look forward†to Robert Mueller’s testimony, despite the special counsel’s stated reluctance to testify on Capitol Hill.
"We look forward to Mueller's testimony before Congress. While I understand his reluctance to answer hypotheticals or deviate from the carefully worded conclusions he drew on his charging decisions, there are, nevertheless, a great many questions he can answer that go beyond the report, including any counterintelligence issues and classified matters that were not addressed in his findings,†Schiff said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.
Earlier in the day Mueller made his first public remarks since beginning his now-completed investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. He reiterated some of the findings from his 448-page report and explained in further detail why he did not reach a decision on whether President Trump obstructed justice.
