Robert Mueller testimony: Start time, how to watch and stream

Special counsel Robert Mueller will make a long-awaited appearance in front of Congress on Wednesday morning, where he will face questions from lawmakers for the first time about his lengthy report on Russia’s interference into the 2016 election and steps President Donald Trump took to interfere with his investigation.

“The [Mueller] report presents very substantial evidence that the president is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors and we have to present, or let Mueller present, those facts to the American people and then see where we go from there,” Rep. Jerry Nadler (D., N.Y.), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said on Fox News Sunday over the weekend.

Mueller will testify for three hours before the House Judiciary Committee, followed by another two hours in front of the House Intelligence Committee. He also won’t be alone - sitting alongside him during at least one hearing will be Aaron Zebley, a longtime aide granted permission to help Mueller with questions.

The New York Times described the addition of Zebley as “not uncommon,” but it predictably drew the ire of Trump on Twitter, who has repeatedly called Mueller’s investigation a “witch hunt.”

All four major broadcast networks in Philadelphia will carry Mueller’s hearings live, cutting into popular morning shows such as Good Morning America and Today. CNN, MSNBC.

Fox News will also cover his testimony live, preempting the popular Fox News morning program Fox & Friends, which Trump watches on a regular basis. Despite that, several MSNBC guests have falsely claimed that Fox News won’t air Mueller’s testimony at all.

Here’s what you need to know ahead of Mueller’s testimony:

Mueller’s hearing before the House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. After three hours of questioning, there will be a 30-minute break before the House Intelligence Committee kicks off its hearing at noon.

Committee members will be given five minutes each to question Mueller. But the Judiciary Committee is composed of 41 members (24 Democrats and 17 Republicans), so it’s unclear if every member of the committee will be able to question Mueller during the three hours allotted for his testimony.

The Intelligence Committee is smaller, with just 22 members (13 Democrats and nine Republicans), so every member should have the opportunity to question Mueller for five minutes.

Nadler will be the first to question Mueller on Wednesday morning.

Other notable Democrats on the Judiciary Committee include former 2020 presidential candidate Eric Swalwell and outspoken Trump critic Ted Lieu. Local members are Reps. Mary Gay Scanlon and Madeleine Dean, both Pennsylvania Democrats.

Notable Republicans include Tea Party stalwart Louie Gohmert and Trump allies Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz.

Intelligence committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Calif.) will likely be the most recognizable Democrat to question Mueller, thanks to his public battles with the Trump administration. Rep. Joaquin Castro (D., Texas) is another notable Democrat on the committee.

The most prominent Republican on the committee is Rep. Devin Nunes (R., Calif.), who is closely aligned with Trump on intelligence issues.
