breaking news we got tonight. previously described in reporting about the special counsel s process about mueller s chief of staff and we know he was mueller s chief of staff when mueller was fbi director. now it seems that the intelligence committee has made the decision that they re going to swear mr. zebley in as a witness, to sit next to mueller and also answer questions from at least the intelligence committee members, even if judiciary committee seems like they may not be following that same path. chuck, i know you had the same job that aaron zebley did as chief of staff. what do you make of this? well, aaron is as smart and humble and diligent as you could hope for. he also will know the case backward and forward. he worked right next to bob for years, including on the entire special counsel project. so here s what i make of it. if bob doesn t know an answer, aaron will. and aaron s testified in big cases before, including in the eastern district of virginia when i was u.s. at
do you expect that robert mueller will follow those strictures as laid out by the justice department or do you expect that he will take a similar view of that instruction that you and your chairman have? you know, i i don t know. i think that s the $50 million question right now. you know, bob mueller has shown that, you know, he s very thorough, but he s very much a rule follower and i m just not sure how he s going to view these rules. we know that he was distressed, shall we say, by the way that attorney general barr tried to shape his report and mischaracterize his report. i don t know if that will inform his testimony tomorrow. we are looking forward to hearing his statement, which i understand has not been provided to the department of justice. congresswoman mary gay scanlon, vice chair of the judiciary committee. if a decision changes tonight about aaron zebley and whether he s going to be sworn in and testifying to your committee like he is to intelligence,
intelligence and counterintelligence information to fbi headquarters and fbi field offices, end quote. the mueller report says that these summaries contain information that s not included in the mueller report itself. have you reviewed these summaries and information? well, senator, i want to be careful not to be discussing the special counsel s report, especially when the special counsel himself is going to be testifying at length tomorrow. that wasn t the question, though. what happened to all of the intelligence information garnered in mueller s investigation that didn t get recorded in mueller s report? what happened to all that stuff? for the record, fbi director chris wray said he would be happy to check on that. the fbi director also clarified for the record today that he himself, the fbi director, hasn t read the mueller report. have you read the mueller report? i ve reviewed it.
by bill barr, i m not even sure this would be necessary. the report was intercepted and it was misconstrued, the american people were misled, and now we have to correct that record. members of the judiciary committee, democrats all who are preparing tonight for what will be a huge moment tomorrow morning as their committee begins questioning at 8:30 in the morning of special counsel robert mueller. joining us now is congresswoman mary gay scanlon. she s newly elected. she s in her first term. an accomplished attorney before entering congress. she s now vice chair of the judiciary committee. congresswoman scanlon, thank you so much for joining us. i know you have a lot of things you d rather be doing than talking on tv. well, thank you for having me. so let me ask you about some of the news that we have learned over the course of this hour that we re still trying to make sense of. we ve learned just in the past few minutes that in the intelligence committee in the afternoon afte
as of right now and into the overnight hours. it is hard to see how he stays on in that job. and on top of that, not for nothing, i should tell you that tonight a whole bunch of people have superglued themselves to the u.s. capitol. they have superglued themselves to the door jams and the hallways in the doors that connect the u.s. house office building to the u.s. capitol building. these protesters are proclaiming a climate emergency. they want congress to declare a climate emergency. we have all seen lots of people chain themselves to things. in this case, they have glued themselves, they have glued their skin to the doors and hallways connecting the u.s. house office building to the u.s. capitol. that is ongoing. so, i mean, today has already been kind of a momentous day all around, but on the eve of robert mueller s testimony to the house of representatives, starting early tomorrow morning, it is pretty remarkable that robert
