Graham Vows to Call Mueller to Testify Before the Senate Judiciary Committee

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says he will call former special counsel Robert Mueller to testify before the committee as part of its investigation into the origins of the Russia probe.

“Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee have previously requested Mr. Mueller appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee to testify about his investigation,” Graham wrote on Twitter.

He added, “That request will be granted.”

Graham’s tweet comes a day after Mueller penned an op-ed in defense of the prosecution of Roger Stone — a former aide to President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

“Apparently Mr. Mueller is willing – and also capable – of defending the Mueller investigation through an oped in the Washington Post,” Graham said.

In an op-ed published in the Post on Saturday, Mueller wrote that he felt “compelled to respond both to broad claims that our investigation was illegitimate and our motives were improper” after Trump announced that he would commute Stone’s sentence. 

Mueller proceeded to outline how Stone became a target for investigators and defended investigators and prosecutors in Stone’s case.

“The women and men who conducted these investigations and prosecutions acted with the highest integrity. Claims to the contrary are false,” he wrote.
