US Special Counsel Robert Mueller has agreed to testify on July 17 on his report into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. The House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees yesterday announced it. Intelligence committee chairman Adam Schiff said, Mueller, has agreed to testify before Congress pursuant to subpoena.&nbsp;<br />''<br />''The Mueller Report released in April outlined numerous contacts between Trump's election campaign and government-linked Russians, as well as evidence that the president tried on several occasions to stymie the investigation. The Democrats have been split on whether to launch impeachment proceedings against the Republican president but have been asking major figures to testify in public on its findings.&nbsp;<br />''<br />''Making his first public statement about the high-stakes probe on May 29, Mueller said longstanding Justice Department guidelines prevented him from charging Trump, despite at least 10 possible acts of criminal obstruction by the president.<br />''<br />
