kenneth. good morning, janai. robert mueller is a notoriously silent figure. in the two years since his investigation was launched, he has given one ten-minute statement but congress is now here saying that is not good enough and issued these subpoenas to get him to testify. with the world watching special counsel robert mueller now expected to testify at public hearings july 17th. the house judiciary and intelligence committees both issuing mueller subpoenas tuesday night. democratic members eager to finally ask him questions about the russia investigation and the ten instances laid out in the mueller report where the president may have obstructed justice. >> if we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so. >> reporter: house intelligence chair adam schiff telling msnbc he doesn't think mueller would consider this a friendly subpoena, but congress needs answers. >> we never felt it was sufficient to rely simply on a written report or a ten-minute statement without the ability to follow up with questions. >> reporter: after the news broke, president trump

responding on twitter with his familiar refrain of presidential harassment. this following weeks of accusing mueller of being biased. >> i think mueller is a true never trumper. >> no collusion, no obstruction. >> reporter: the president's attorney jay sekulow now going on the attack against mueller telling fox news -- >> the first thing he needs to answer is his own conflicts of interest. the whole report is incoherent. >> reporter: sekulow also telling abc he expects mueller's testimony to mirror his report, something that mueller himself has said before when indicating he didn't want to testify. >> and the work speaks for itself, and the report is my testimony. >> reporter: another reason mueller didn't want to testify is because he didn't want republicans and democrats to turn that testimony into a spectacle. now, mueller has said that the interference in the 2016 election deserves the attention of every american, and now it appears three weeks from now he is going to have that attention. janai, kenneth.

>> and, trevor, of course, we know robert mueller will face tough questions from democrats but he will also likely face tough questions from republicans on those committees as well. >> reporter: rate, yeah, we're looking at a grilling likely from both sides. the president's legal team issued a statement with some concerns that have been brought up by republicans and that's about what they call irregularities in how this investigation was conducted. one of those instances involving peter strzok and lisa page who were two members of mueller's team who were removed after some anti-trump messages between them were made public so there is going to be harsh questions from both sides but robert mueller, of course, very stoic. we'll have to see what he's willing to talk about. >> and, trevor, the world will be watching listening closely to those answers. trevor ault in washington, thank you. now to the crisis at the border. overnight on capitol hill the house approved billions of dollars in humanitarian aid for migrants setting up a showdown with the senate. it comes amid yet another shake-up in the trump administration. overnight the house approved $4.5 billion in emergency aid

for the border crisis. >> the bill is passed. >> reporter: the bill includes provisions to help children and families taken into u.s. custody, but the white house is threatening to veto the bill. president trump is demanding changes to the asylum system, even though he says he does support emergency aid. >> it's all about humanity. it's about helping children. >> reporter: it comes amid reports of hundreds of children being housed in deplorable conditions at two facilities in texas. a border patrol station in clint reportedly denied children soap and toothpaste according to lawyers who went inside and spoke with them. they were found filthy sleeping on the concrete floor with only mylar sheets. >> we found raggedy children, freezing, wearing clothes they came in off the border from. >> reporter: customs and border patrol has denied most of the allegations saying overcrowding has been the problem and while they say they moved 250 children from the clint facility, abc learned 100 children have been

transferred back to that facility. pictures shown by "the texas tribune" shows boxes diapers and toys at the door and they were turned away by who say it's against the law for government agencies to accept goods not earmarked by congress and as the white house faces anger over the condition of border facilities, a gut-wrenching reminder of the perils migrants face. graphic images show a father and his 23-month-old daughter after they drowned in the rio grande near brownsville, texas. reports say the family from el salvador was waiting months to be granted asylum before they risked their lives crossing the river, all of this as acting chief john sanders announces his resignation. sources tell abc news sanders' resignation had nothing to do with the revelation that the border patrol housed migrant children in conditions that a doctor who recently visited the facility likened to torture facilities. president trump when asked about sanders' resignation said he doesn't believe he's ever spoken to him. taking over for sanders will be mark morgan who served as border patrol chief under president

obama. morgan once said he could spot a future gang member by looking into a boy's eyes. we learned overnight two u.s. service members have been killed in central afghanistan. the taliban has claimed responsibility saying the two soldiers were killed during an ambush though the pentagon has not confirmed that. and, meanwhile, the war of words between the u.s. and iran is escalating. on tuesday iran's president rejected any chance of talking and hurled insults at the white house. still, president trump signaled that he's open to negotiations but he also issued a threat warning that the u.s. will respond to an iranian attack on anything american with obliteration, and he was asked about his plan in case there is a war. >> do you have an exit strategy for iran if war does break out? >> you're not going to need an exit strategy. i don't need exit strategies. >> national security adviser john bolton says the u.s. is seeking a path to peace even as

iran threatens to violate the nuclear deal still in place with europe. bolton wants all options to remain on the table. three people are dead after an apparent case of workplace violence in northern california. it happened at a ford dealership in morgan hill near san jose. a man shot two workers before taking his own life. one employee says the shooter had just been let go from his job at the dealership. time now for a look at your weather for this wednesday morning. good morning. we're tracking more some severe storms as we head later into our wednesday from areas north of kansas city into the dakotas. we need to watch for damaging wind gusts, hail and perhaps some flooding as well. we'll have some pop-up storms into the afternoon across the ohio river valley, bigger story for the northeast. heat and humidity building, we're talking highs in the low 90s into philly and d.c. big-time heat coming across the southeast as well and near record high temperatures on tap
