The president accused congressional Democrats of looking for “a redo,” falsely claiming once again that Mueller’s report had exonerated him of all possible wrongdoing. President Donald Trump on Sunday said special counsel Robert Mueller “should not testify” before Congress after signaling last week that he would not stand in the way of such a hearing. Trump told reporters last week that he would let Attorney General William Barr decide whether Mueller should be allowed to testify. During his testimony Wednesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Barr said he has “no objection” to Mueller doing so. Democrats have repeatedly called on Mueller to testify before Congress following the completion of his far-reaching investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and whether Trump tried to obstruct justice as the probe proceeded.
