House Judiciary Chair Jerrold Nadler calls special counsel Robert Mueller to testify by May 23 after Attorney General William Barr’s news conference

PUBLISHED 2 HOURS AGO UPDATED AN HOUR AGO

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., called on special counsel Robert Mueller to testify before his committee “no later than May 23.”

The letter to Mueller was made public on Nadler’s Twitter account minutes after Attorney General William Barr said Thursday that the nearly two-year Russia probe found “no collusion” between President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and the Kremlin.

“As I have already communicated to the Department of Justice, I request your testimony before the Judiciary committee as soon as possible,” Nadler wrote to Mueller. “But, in any event, no later than May 23, 2019. I look forward to working with you on a mutually agreeable date.”

“We cannot take Attorney General Barr’s word for it. We must read the full Mueller report, and the underlying evidence,” he later tweeted.
