Statement in addition opening remarks from the chairman and the members. we do not know what s in mueller s opening statement, but his spokes people said his opening statement didn t have to be cleared with the justice department and has not been cleared with the justice department. that s important and interesting because nobody know what is he s going to say. it also means that even though the justice department has been trying to pressure mueller about his testimony and the constraints they want on it, if mueller is planning an opening statement he is not planning on showing the department ahead of time, that at least means he is retaining independent control over his remarks regardless of what the justice department is telling him to do. just before we got on the air, jake gibson was first to report on this letter that the justice department sent to robert mueller today, trying basically to cirque um scribe his testimony on wednesday morning. doctor mr. mueller, i write in response ....
