Mueller is a 'man of great rectitude and apolitical and he doesn't want to participate in anything that he might regard as a political spectacle,” Nadler said.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler on Thursday evening revealed that Robert Mueller has indicated he “wants to testify in private” before the committee investigating President Donald Trump in the wake of the special counsel’s report.

“We want him to come in and testify. We want others to come in and testify. There are a lot of people who should come in and testify, who the [Trump] administration is saying they will not permit to testify. A blanket stonewalling of Congress and the American people,” Nadler said. “Mueller, I think I can say at this point, he wants to testify in private.”“I don’t know why. He’s willing to make an opening statement but he wants to testify in private,” Nadler responded.

Nadler has previously said Democrats would subpoena Mueller to testify if he continues to stall, but his comments to Maddow on Thursday was the first time the option of a possible closed-door testimony has been mentioned.
