On the eve of Robert Mueller’s appearance before two House committees, the chairman of one of the panels accused the Justice Department of attempting to “circumscribe” Mueller’s testimony.
Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff, in a letter to the former special counsel on Tuesday night, attacked the department for telling Mueller in a letter that he shouldn’t discuss ongoing cases or uncharged individuals and that some details of his work might be covered by executive privilege.
