De Niro pens open letter to Mueller: 'The country needs to hear your voice'

“It may speak for itself to lawyers and lawmakers who have the patience and obligation to read through the more than 400 pages of carefully chosen words and nuanced conclusions (with all due respect, as good a read as it is, you’re no Stephen King),” the 75-year-old Academy Award winner responded in his open letter.

“But the country needs to hear your voice. Your actual voice. And not just because you don’t want them to think that your actual voice sounds like Robert De Niro reading from cue cards, but because this is the report your country asked you to do, and now you must give it authority and clarity without, if I may use the term, obstruction,” De Niro added.


If Mueller has nothing more to say about the investigation, De Niro suggested he could “just read from the report in response to questions from members of Congress.”

De Niro said he wants to see Mueller leave his “comfort zone,” writing, “You are the voice of the Mueller report. Let the country hear that voice.”

Trump, De Niro wrote, "has set up a world where it seems as if those disapproving of him can effectively challenge him only by becoming just like him."
