The Justice Department sent a letter to former special counsel Robert Mueller on July 22, advising that his testimony scheduled for Congress on July 24, “must remain within the boundaries” of the public version of his Russia investigation report.

The letter was in response to a letter Mueller submitted to the Justice Department on July 10 requesting “guidance concerning privilege or other legal bars applicable to potential testimony.”
