Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller appeared before the U.S. Congress Wednesday to answer lawmakers’ questions about his investigation into Russian election interference. During the day-long hearing, Mueller’s answers included little beyond the findings included in his 448-page report. He said few words and repeatedly asked lawmakers to look to his report for the information they sought. CNN television estimated that Mueller chose not to answer questions from lawmakers at least 206 times. The United States Department of Justice appointed Mueller to lead the investigation two years ago. The investigators found there were many contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia. But, it said, “…the evidence was not sufficient to support criminal charges.” The investigators also uncovered numerous attempts to interfere with law enforcement, a crime known as obstruction of justice.
