House GOP vows tough questions for Mueller

WASHINGTON — House Republicans are pledging tough questioning of special counsel Robert Mueller when he testifies before Congress this week as Democrats plan to air evidence of wrongdoing by President Donald Trump.

Rep. Doug Collins, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, said the American public is growing weary of the Russia investigation three months after the release of the special counsel’s 448-page report and that “any thought of impeachment is waning.”

He said Republicans will be focused on making clear that the report represents a “final episode” in the Russia probe, which he described as flawed.

The House Judiciary Committee and the House Intelligence Committee will question Mueller in separate back-to-back hearings. Brand-new baby: Chelsea Clinton has announced the birth of her third child. Jasper Clinton Mezvinsky was born Monday.
