House Speaker Nancy Pelosi cautioned Democrats to show “a level of calmness†at next week’s highly anticipated appearance by former special counsel Robert Mueller, who will testify before two committees on July 17.
“As we go into next week, I’d like to have a level of calmness, no drama, regarding the Mueller presentation,†Pelosi told rank-and-file Democrats at a closed-door meeting Thursday. "The very fact that he is presenting is what we want, so many more people will be aware of the charges that are in the Mueller report."
Mueller is scheduled to testify before both the House Judiciary Committee and the House Intelligence Committee. Each panel is expected to have approximately two hours to grill Mueller about his 448-page report into whether the Trump 2016 presidential campaign colluded with the Russians.
Democrats are unhappy with the time constraints, which have forced the committee leaders to limit who can ask questions and for how long. They also have a history of theatrics.
