Democrats have said that the simple act of having the former special counsel testify publicly could be the tipping point for many of their colleagues in supporting an impeachment inquiry.
"The information has to be presented to them in a manner that is relatable," he added. Johnson has not formally endorsed the idea of an impeachment inquiry, but he was one of 95 Democrats who last week voted in support to move forward with Representative Al Green's articles of impeachment.
Republicans, on the other hand, will want Mueller to reiterate that then-candidate Trump's campaign, although expected to benefit from Russian interference, did not criminally conspire with the foreign adversary. Mueller has said there was insufficient evidence to support such allegations. "The [Mueller] report presents very substantial evidence that the president is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors," Representative Jerrold Nadler, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, told Fox News over the weekend."We have to let Mueller present those facts to the American people and then see where we go from there."
