Trump Not Expected to Block Mueller Testimony

“When President Trump contradicted his own attorney general and declared on Sunday that special counsel Robert Mueller ‘should not testify’ before Congress, he caught his inner circle by surprise,” Politico reports.

“A day later, more than a dozen people from Trump’s close orbit downplayed in interviews the prospect that the president’s weekend tweet about Mueller should be taken as an official warning.”

“Trump does not actually intend to assert executive privilege and block the special counsel from testifying as soon as next week, they said, before the one House committee with the power to begin impeachment proceedings against the president.”
