Special Counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s appearance in Congress next week to testify on the Russia election meddling investigation and allegations of obstruction by President Donald Trump has been postponed, the House Judiciary Committee announced Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Committee chairmen Jerry Nadler and Adam Schiff released a statement saying the planned sessions would take place on July 24 for an \u201cextended period of time.\u201dAmerican media had reported earlier Wednesday that some committee members viewed the originally planned sessions as too short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Completed in March after a more than two-year investigation into Russian election meddling in the 2016 presidential election, the Mueller report documents numerous instances of attempted collusion between Trump\u2019s campaign and Russia, but found no grounds for criminal conspiracy charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But Mueller refrained from recommending criminal charges against the president, saying he had no power to do so. That led to Trump declaring that he had been fully cleared by the probe, while Democrats in Congress began calling for more investigations and impeachment, saying the report was evidence of criminal wrongdoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On May 29, in his only public comment since completing the report, Mueller said he had not exonerated Trump of obstruction of justice, but said Justice Department policy prevented him from charging the president.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
