Mueller making first public statement on Russia investigation

Special counsel Robert Mueller plans to make his first public statement on the Trump-Russia investigation Wednesday, the Justice Department said.

Mueller has remained a Justice Department employee since submitting the report in March, though the Justice Department has not said what work he has been doing. House Democrats want Mueller to testify publicly, though no date or arrangements have been set, and it’s not clear that he will. Mueller said in his report that he did not think it would be fair to publicly accuse the president of a crime if he was not going to charge him. A Justice Department legal opinion says sitting presidents cannot be indicted, and Mueller made clear in his report that that opinion helped shape the investigation’s outcome and decisions.
