Adam Schiff personally asked Mueller to testify before Congress but thought it was 'heartbreaking' when he struggled to answer questions: book
Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, sent the special counsel Robert Mueller a handwritten note asking him to testify before Congress after submitting his final report on the Russia probe.
That's according to Schiff's upcoming book, "Midnight in Washington," an advance copy of which was obtained by CNN.
Schiff reportedly writes that even though he sent Mueller a personal note requesting his July 2019 testimony, he found it "heartbreaking" when Mueller struggled to answer basic questions.
The special counsel testified in two sessions before the House judiciary and intelligence committees on July 24 about his findings in the FBI's investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 US election. Mueller's testimony was widely anticipated and got wall-to-wall media coverage, but he drew criticism for declining or deflecting dozens of questions 198 times, per NBC News' tally and for asking lawmakers to repeat their questions on several occasions.
