Congress prepares for 'reticent' witness Robert Mueller
Facing pointed questions about a hot-button government investigation in June 2013, then-FBI Director Robert Mueller didn't budge.
"I'm not going to speculate," he flatly told Rep. Gym Jordan, R-Ohio, when pressed on the details of a probe into an Internal Revenue Service targeting scandal.
On Wednesday, Mueller will return to Capitol Hill to face questions about his investigation into Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. Lawmakers and aides, including many with experience questioning Mueller, don't expect him to be any more forthcoming.
"He is a reticent witness even under the best of circumstances," House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said at the Aspen Security Forum, held in Colorado last week.
"[Mueller] never gives a 10-word answer when a one word answer will do," one senior Democratic aide said. "He does not volunteer information."
