Former special counsel Robert Mueller on July 24 refused to answer House Republicans who pressed him about the origins of the Russia probe, the perceived double standard employed by his staff, and other longstanding mysteries of Mueller’s 22-month investigation.
Mueller wouldn’t say why his office didn’t bring perjury charges against Maltese professor Joseph Mifsud, the man whose conversation with Trump 2016 presidential campaign associate George Papadopoulos is at the alleged origin of the investigation. Mueller declined to answer any questions about the infamous, unverified Steele dossier and whether he could definitively say that the document wasn’t part of a Russian disinformation campaign.
