House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler said he could subpoena Robert Mueller within two weeks if they don’t reach an agreement to secure Mueller’s public testimony
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler told Democratic leaders at a closed-door meeting this week that he could issue a subpoena to Robert Mueller within two weeks if he is unable to reach an agreement to secure the former special counsel’s public testimony, according to two sources familiar with the meeting.
“We want him to testify openly. I think the American people need that,” Nadler added. “I think, frankly, it's his duty to the American people. And we'll make that happen.” Getting Mueller in front of the cameras is House Democrats’ top priority as they seek to spotlight the special counsel’s evidence outlining Trump’s efforts to obstruct the investigation. Democrats are also going to federal court as soon as next week to compel former White House counsel Don McGahn’s testimony, and they have issued subpoenas to other former Trump aides whose testimony Mueller cited in his 448-page report.
