What We Know in the Wake Of Mueller's Testimony
David Corn, Washington bureau chief of Mother Jones, MSNBC analyst and co-author of Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin's War on America and the Election of Donald Trump (Twelve, 2018), discusses what we learned from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's testimony on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.
From Corn's latest Mother Jones piece, "Mueller Reminds the Public: Trump Betrayed the United States":
There’s an old saying in newsrooms: News is stuff that people have forgotten. Robert Mueller’s dramatic appearance before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday morning was a striking reminder of this adage. The former special counsel did not drop any new revelations about the Trump-Russia affair. Yet in a simple but important manner, he reiterated the basics of this scandal—perhaps the most consequential political scandal in American history.
