By John Wagner John Wagner National reporter leading The Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow May 24 at 9:43 AM President Trump sharply questioned Friday why Democrats want special counsel Robert S. Mueller III to testify before Congress, a shift in posture from earlier this month when he said he would let Attorney General William P. Barr decide if Mueller should appear.
I don’t know why the Radical Left Democrats want Bob Mueller to testify when he just issued a 40 Million Dollar Report that states, loud & clear & for all to hear, No Collusion and No Obstruction Dems are just looking for trouble and a Do-Over! During a television appearance Thursday night, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said Mueller told him he is willing to make a public opening statement but wants to offer most of his testimony behind closed doors.
POTUS I’m not a radical-left Democrat and I want to hear what Mueller has to say or read the report myself. I don’t trust you or Barr to tell the truth!!
Why wouldn't we want him to testify? He was the investigator. I want to know what limitations were put on him & his team. ALL involved should be testifying, under oath, in front of the American ppl. Even President Trump.
Thinking people always prefer 1st hand accounts over made up stuff...it's called verification, but that's a term you've never used because you just shoot from the hip with every utterance. Doesn't matter if it's grounded in reality.
Trump is questioning why we continue to perpetuate the collusion fraud. BTW, why are we?
I would think the President would want Meuller to testify before Congress since the report fully proves no obstruction or collusion. Let’s get this resolved.
The real question is why do the democrats want Mueller to tesify behind closed doors? What are they afraid of?
Interesting how anyone who demands truth, transparency, or bipartisan participation is ... RADICAL.
As do many Radical Right Republicans who are scared of FeloniusTrump's mouth opening in their direction...
I think there’s a whole lot more people out there than just the radical left who want to see him testify. “Radical left”...another villain for the dimwit followers to get all lathered up about.
What about independent voters? I am one and I want to hear what Mueller has to say about all of this.
How about “everyone with a brain between their ears, capable of rational thought”
Narcissists fear exposure & relentlessly attempt to rewrite history to avoid accountability.
. . . .HINT. . .It's the MUELLER REPORT.
I’m so fucking sick of this guy.
Declassify the full Mueller report and they may not need to talk with him.
Why not?
This is the same man that says Nancy is loosing it. He says one thing one day and then changes it. He never means what he says.
He can't contradict Muller if Muller shows up in court. Muller should testify in closed court so there won't be any brave shows for the camera.
Why not?
Because they don’t trust America’s intelligence. They think it is corrupt. They should know
Because Mueller is a respected professional and won’t lie. Be afraid, be afraid Don. Just resign...
I hope Republicans ask Mueller when he knew there was no collusion, and why he didn't tell the American people the truth for two years. Very badly hurt the country
It's normal for someone to testify in public at Congress especially if they want to ask questions about a report. He is terrified.
Why because we have a guy in the White House who fails to give us his tax returns supeonas are not being adhere to and Putin and Saudi Arabia are your friends
because your a gd criminal Biff.and the GD reports shows that!!
🤣🤣🤣
Why haven’t democrats subpoenaed mueller? Democrats are distracting from the fact they don’t want him to testify in public
That’s easy. Because TrumpDoesCoverUps
I ama moderate REPUBLICAN AND WOULD Like to hear what he says. Concerns include Russian interference in 2020 elections
We want the facts brah
Because they know that mueller holds the key to extreme corruption on the radical right
Has anybody checked trump for rabies?😕
I have the same question. He bent over backwards to avoid accusing any member of the Trump family of a crime and never bothered to investigate Trump’s financial ties to Russia, though those ties likely motivated both the interference and Trump’s obstruction.
Boss
“questions” implies he’s looking to them for an answer, he is not.
Let’s question the man that concluded that there was no collusion. It’s like their lies. They believe that if you keep repeating a lie it will become the truth. So, they must also believe that if you keep investigating it it will become a crime. Drink Kookaid much?
Trump loves to attacks groups rather than individuals so he can keep the generalities without going into specifics. His grouping is so much easier. He is a total moron.
Bc you .. can’t tell the truth
No radical left. The country wants and needs it! Enough obstruction and deceit by this corrupt WH and potus!
come on! ‘tator trump knows all!
Americans paid for the investigation. We deserve to hear him testify!
Okay if anyone is still believing POTUS Pumpkinhead’s BS diatribes: feel free to self-medicate.
What is he afraid of?
Yep, just keep shifting American politics to the right, calling blatant centrists radical
They want to force him to say something he didn’t in the report. That Trump colluded with Russia. Good luck.
Because Conservatives Moderates & Liberals want the truth, not lies from Trump & Barr.
They want answers. Is that so hard to understand?
To get to the truth,something you know nothing about,!!!
We all want Mueller to testify. Trump isn't scared of that. Barr wants him to do it as well. The left doesn't want it. Nice try at spin WaPo!!!
To tell the truth instead of the William Barr propaganda
Hahaha, really? He does not understand why? DementiaDonald let me 'splain to you in the fewest and smallest words possible - 'U a crook'.
AFTER ALL....HE CONCLUDED HIS INVESTIGATIVE ROLE AS A PROSECUTOR....WHEN HE PRESENTED HIS FINDINGS IN A REPORT....WHICH WAS THEN RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC WITH LIMITED REDACTIONS....EVERYTHING WAS DONE AS MANDATED BY LAWS GOVERNING THE DOJ....AS AN INDEPENDENT EXECUTIVE BRANCH!
When you walk away from the tree, you can't blame the tree for removing its shade from you.
Barr, Trump’s chimp.
He knows the answer. He is simply terrified that Mueller will confirm thar Barr told him he could not indict Trump. Or that Trump had engaged in a conspiracy. Which he did!
because the are FAR LEFT radical dems FakeNews
Obtuse...pretty sure 🍄knows exactly why and what he'll say...that's what he and Barr are worried about.
Better question is why he is so set against it.
So he can tell everyone how the report 100% exonerates your criminal behavior. Would logically think you would want this too as you've asked practically everyone to proclaim your innocence.
He calls this radical? Wait until HE gets hacked and scandalized.
Confusing as trump claims Mueller's report 'exonerated' hin (although it didn't). If trump was logical or not guilty he should welcome Mueller testifying. No?
So he can totally exonerate you, duh!
Why don’t you
THE FAR LEFT TheDemocrats have shifted
Crump 🤡 if you’re completely exonerated No obstruction and No collusion. You shouldn’t have any problem with Mueller coming to testify. He’s not the enemy you are trying to hide evidence . And the people who help you cover up the crimes that’s being committed. So welcome him
Seeking the TRUTH which DerangedDonald knows nothing about! Just keep acting like the criminal you are!
Why ? Gezzz
Because we’re sick of the Radical Christian Conservative Party—formerly the GOP—trying to destroy our Republic.
It doesn't matter if he questions it or not.
Because your a criminal, liar, and all round Douchbag.
Of course Trump continues to use the term 'Radical Left' to make it sound like there is only something of a small/minority group that's against him when, in reality, it's a broad spectrum.
I really wonder how with the turmoil around you and in the world you find time to analyze a situation and Tweet with abandon.
If Trump is innocent, then there is no need to question Muller testifying 🤷♂️
The Democrats and their media lackeys right now all of a sudden magically not interested in finding out how their hoax started... The worst hypocrisy I've ever seen!
After the classified is released let him. Then meadows can ask him a lot of why questions he will have to answer.
WP, the real question and the only question is why Trump does not want him to Testify.
💥DeClassify Barack Obama Hillary Clinton James Comey John Brennan James Clapper Sally Yates Susan Rice Loretta Lynch Samantha Powers Preet Bharara Peter Strzok Lisa Page Andrew McCabe ⚖️DemocRATS say no one above the law We want Indictments as Scales of Justice get balanced⚖️
What IS the purpose? We have gone from a system where you did NOT investigate in search of a crime. You had a crime and you investigated in search of the perpetrator. Democrats turning our system upside down. Mueller did not deliver the goods, searching for a crime, DESPERATE!
We need radical transparency.
The truth?
The question is why is he afraid for Mueller or anyone else to testify?
Someone please tell Trump his meds aren’t working FailureInTheWH TantrumInTheWH
1st Amendment - Freedom of Speech. Let Mueller testify! 'The Freedom of Speech Clause of the First Amendment is one of the most valuable and precious rights guaranteed to Americans in the United States Constitution.'
Radical left Democrats is an oxymoron.
such transparency
Mr Trump do you really have to ask Why?
