robert: whatever you think about robert mueller performance, there are also the facts. and the facts he laid out were also echoed this week by f.b.i. ncrector chris ray. russian interfeis serious. and it's likely to happen again in 2020. yet majority leader mitch mcconnell not moving on bipartisan legislation in the senate. will he pay a political price? >> well, this carries echoes o course of what mitch mcconnell did in the months leading up to the 2016 cpaign. you'll remember that the obama administration wanted congress to pass se sort of a statement. and mcconnell blocked it and said he wouldt go along because he felt it was being caught up in partisan politics. it was doigned t hurt the republican nominee. and so -- and that's very much his argument today. this is democratic partisanship. this is not actually about making our elections more secure. it's about democrats trying to score points. the interesting thing -- to answer your question directly, i don't know if he'll pay a political price in his own state. but i do know that it just sort of to my mind wreaks

robert: andrearought up the attorney general bill bar. we had robert mueller's stimony. but what should we expect from d.o.j. on the i.g. version into carter page and the fisa application as well as the a.g.'s own report on the origins of the russia investigation? >> yeah. barr had said that we shoul expe that i.g. report in may or june. it's now july. so ihink we are expecting that within the next several months. a that could b really critical moment if he finds that there was some wrongdoing in the surveillance warrant that was issued for the trump advisor carter page. and then we're g tnghave this separate investigation. unclear when we will get that. but being run by a u.s. attorney who has a very good reputation. also frankly a reputation for going quite i deliberativel other words slowly. so i wouldn't expect that we're going to get the results of that tooribly soon. but that's supposed to take a broad look at how the investigation began. so, you know, all this -- this mueller investigation material is not quite ihe rear-view mirror yet. >> and mueller -- sorry. mu

i did just speak to robert mueller's spokesperson. he'll be accompanied by some of his team from the special counsel's office. this is presumably the same group of people who have been working with ront mueller as he's been preparing at the offices of william hale. that's robert mueller's former law firm right here in washington, d.c. we know that he has been preparing throughout the past few days or weeks. so that group of people will be with him. presumably we'll see them sit just behind robert mueller at the hearing as he begins to testify at 8:30 this morning. but so far no more word from the justice department. but we know they are objecting to zebley testifying alongside mueller which he's expected to do in the second part of the day. >> jess is a snyder, thank you so much. >>> president trump has been on edge ahead of the mueller hearing. using the phrase he often uses, witch hunt. let's go to boris sanchez. what's the latest over there? >> reporter: even though president trump says he's not anxious about the testimony today, i

what's your question for robert mueller? caller: my question is not so much for robert mueller.y first question would be a show of hands by all the republicans sitting on the committee today who actually read the full report. i'm astonished that the republicans calling in obviously have not read the report. it is pretty clear cut. himlooking forward to simply reading the report, explaining the report. the only question i would have for robert mueller would be did you infect exonerate -- in fact exonerate donald trump? yes or no? host: when you say it is clear , what do you mean? caller: i read the report. that heetty clear cut was not allowed nor did he investigate collusion. that was not part of his authority to do so and he didn't do so. he quite simply said, number one, if he could have exonerated the president, he would have done so. read the report. he said that in the report. there are at least 10 cases of obstruction by president trump. it is quite clear cut. here,s not rocket science my dear. this is a report that the majority of people in america have not read. today, t

robert: sure. one of the best books about the apollo era was your book, "carrying the fire." is there any epilogue you would add to it today, anything you would add to that original book? michael: i don't know. i would have to go back and reread it. i remember rereading it after it was published. i believe it was published in 1974 or something like that. and i liked the interval between 1969 and 1974, because it gave me a few years to stop and think about things, and what i wanted to say, and yet it was close enough that i had not lost the detailed memories of these various components about the flight to the moon. but the addition to it -- i think today, of course, there would be a number of additions that i would want to add. one would be the business of, where do we go from here? and that is a fascinating question to pose. i would address that if i were and to do a retake of carrying the fire. robert: where do we go from here? that is a great lead in. i am a product of the apollo generation, but

this is cnn special covererage robert mueller under oath.he next hour, an extraordinary event will happen on capitol hill. robert mueller will testify publicly about his investigation into russia's election interference and president trump's alleged attempt to obstruct that investigation. i'm jake tapper. >> and i'm wolf blitzer. there will be back-to-back hearings today. mueller will first be sworn in before the house judiciary committee who will focus on the obstruction documented in the mueller report. then the house intelligence committee will get its turn concentrating on what russia did to attack the 2016 presidential election here in the united states. >> mueller is clearly a reluctant witness. he stressed he's going to limit his testimony to what is in his 448-page report. but even if mueller only recites aloud some of the key points, that effect could be stunning and these could have blockbuster potential. we gathered our analysts to bring you full coverage. >> i want to go to capitol hill right now. manu raju is up there. manu, the

robert: why? when you're talking to your colleagues in the senate, the republicans, and you ask, why is this being stopped, what do they tell you privately? sen. klobuchar: they don't. they're embarrassed by it. i think they know it should go forward. i think some of them have said mcconnell doesn't want it to go forward. yes. some of them, you know, i don't know how they can explain. i mean, why even go to the senate if you actually are allowing elections to be corrupted? why would you want it? it could be either side or a foreign government or criminal element. why would you not want to protect our democracy from paid ads that are bought in rubles or paid ads that have fake videos, which is going to be the next thing? that nancy pelosi thing was just a little taste of what we're going to be seeing, that doctored video on the presidential level and in the senate campaigns and house campaigns. you're not even going to be able to tell if videos are real. or the paid ad that was sent out with an inn

robert mueller was a reluctant witness, and it showed.

there was no defense of what robert mueller was trying to defend. in all fairness to robert mueller, whether his performance was bad one or good one, i think everybody understands that. i think everybody understands what was going on. there was no defense to this ridiculous hoax, in witch hunt that's been going on for a long time. pretty much from the time i came down on the escalator with our first lady. and it's a disgrace what happened. but i think today proved a lot to everybody, in fact some of my biggest opponents wrote things today that i wouldn't have believed they would have written and i appreciate that they did that. this has been a ver bad thing for our country. and despite everything we have been through it's been an incredible two and a half years for our country. the administration, our president, me, we've done a great job. we've got the strongest stock market, the best unemployment numbers, the most number of people ever working in the history of our country right now, almost 160 million. our military has been rebuilt and getting ev

robert absolutely. having the weight of the world on your shoulders, i know you guys went through an extensive amount of training. can you tell us about the training? how did it prepare you for the mission? michael: i think the simulators were the heart and soul of our training. they were very good machines. they were excellent duplicators of what we would see in-flight. their one failing was that they could not duplicate particularly well the view out the window that we saw. but 99% of our work, throwing switches and communicating with houston, 99% of our work, we really didn't need to simulate the view out the window with great fidelity. so the simulators were very powerful instruments, and we spent a lot of time in them. i think the command model simulator, i spent 600 hours and for apollo 11ing alone. robert: what did you find the most challenging? michael: i think about the flight to the moon as a long and fragile hazy chain. links in that chain, certain, finite points along the route, we have name

and andrew mccabe, you know robert mueller. mueller for testimony in the past. i'm curious how you think he's approaching this two series of testimonies. first before judiciary, and before the intel committee. does he actually view it as just reciting what's in the report as he claimed in that eight, nine-minute statement of a couple months ago, and just strictly answers within the letter of the report? or do you believe he sees this as a moment in history as a moment of clarity to close the chapter in this, and perhaps to say things not in the report to provide interpretation of his findings? how is he approaching this, do you suspect? >> well, willie, i think he's approaching this entire experience the way he has every other testimony in his life is to study assiduously, and go through the details of that report. i'm sure he's been doing that for weeks and has great assistance in that preparation. he'll be well prepared. as far as sticking to the report, i think he'll make every effort as he possibly can to stick within the 4

the 126 contacts quote robert mueller. the 126 co nta cts by quote robert mueller.o law enforcement to say there might be something wrong here. we are working next to russia, who is interfering with a selection to our benefit, and of course, very importantly, volume two, and the mountains of obstruction ofjustice evidence against this president. mountains of obstruction ofjustice evidence against this presidentm has been mentioned many times before that robert mueller didn't come to a conclusion, he has wandered to congress and it is up to you to make the case for impeachment. if you are going to write an impeachment case tonight, what would you say are the grounds for that impeachment? well, extraordinary lawlessness of breaking the rule of law. robert mueller today, one of the impressive things he said was the importance of anti—gravity of the charge of obstruction of justice. —— anti—gravity of the charge of obstruction ofjustice. —— and the gravity. that is not a light criminal charge, and he said that he couldn't do that to a sitting president full stop he was

. >> essentially today now that we have heard from robert mueller. this special counsel's office could not have been convened and could not have sustained itself to the completion of the final report under anyone other than somebody like robert mueller with the reputation for integrity and a rigor that he accomplished and his decades in public service. it maybe had to be robert mueller who was the name special counsel. it's clear from his performance he didn't do all this work himself. the report felt like the work of his staff and not his. he was taking it for granted that whatever the member of congress was reading to him must be in the report. you didn't necessarily have in mind that he 4 the whole thing in his head. all the more reason for us to hear from the members of his team who did the work when the details of the work and the decision making behind it is important in terms of what we don't understand as a country. >> the best version of a hearing is a minimum of four of these staff people two from volume and when the questions asked, they c

robert mueller will be in an interesting place. there will be questions that go outside that will be questions that normal people want to know. people i talked to around the country, especially democrats who are frustrated by the decision not to make a decision on obstruction of justice and why didn't you make the things. it's going to be an interesting thing if he doesn't go further than the report, that's enough for the people who are frustrated by it. >> one is intent and did the president intend to obstruct justice. the mueller report said they know the answer, but they won't tell us. it appears in the footnote that where mueller is talking about not subpoenaing donald trump and he said we obtained from other sources and other sources allowed us to draw relevant factual conclusions on intent. so mueller has a conclusion on the president's intent, but didn't put it in writing and now apparently the justice department is saying you can't tell us the answer to that question. >> since when is ignorance an excuse. maybe i'm missing

host: that is robert from pennsylvania. morgan chalfant, we talked about the cost of the mueller investigation. do we know about the cost of committee probes on russia? guest: i'm not sure of the cost, but i will say that one thing democrats have hammered across is that they want to have these hearings, particularly with mueller, so the public knows what it in the report. we know not a lot of people are reading the report. it is 448 pages of legal jargon, and i think they want to bring aspects of mueller's report to light so that the public is more informed. that is why they see an important in this, and really forward on investigation on the president's conduct, particularly because mueller said he did not even answer the question or approach the question of whether trump engaged in criminal wrongdoing because of the justice department legal opinion. host: staying in pennsylvania, sandy, independent, good morning. caller: thank you for taking my call. i have been listening, and i read the report. i'm one of the 3% of ameri

>> the aides is aaron zebley, robert mueller's chief of staff. an accomplished counterterrorism investigator in his own right and robert mueller's chief of staff during the mueller investigation. and they are asking that he be sworn in to sit next to robert mueller during the judiciary committee part of the hearing. it's not clear that's going to be able to happen because of congressional rules. >> and to do what? and to say what? >> well, i mean, you know, robert mueller is 74 years old. he oversaw this sprawling investigation. it's conceivable he doesn't know the answer particularly with the details to every question and a guy like zebley could help him answer those questions and inform the public if only

robert mueller testifies in pair of hearings beginning in three hours. after years, again, years of twists and turns in his investigation into president trump and russia, this is the first time that robert mueller will answer questions in public. he goes first before the house judiciary committee where democrats. focus on obstruction. and later the house intelligence committee where they will hone in on election interference. >> mueller has said he will not go beyond the 448-page report. but lawmakers will try to find inroads into new areas. democratic leaders are hoping the hearing will bring the facts of this report to life for americans who did not read it. republicans plan to confront mueller on the legitimacy of the entire probe. >>> ricardo rossello is expected to resign today. this after weeks of protests. we will get to that in a moment. >>> let's begin with lauren fox live on capitol hill outside the room where it will happen. what are you expecting, lauren? >> reporter: well, people already lined up down the hall, and we are hours away from thi

is a robert mueller doubleheader. the former special counsel is about to make back-to-back appearances before the house judiciary committee and intelligence committees it is about the last place on earth that he wants to be a delisting of the role that he wants to do. the former marine who volunteered to serve his country during vietnam had to be subpoenaed to testify. robert mueller arrived on capitol hill just a few minutes ago. you see the picture of his arrival. this is the first time he will answer questions about his investigation of russian interference in the 2016 u.s. election. whether anyone in the trump campaign was involved, and whether the president obstructed justice. robert mueller has had his report speaks for itself it doesn't intended to go on with the report says. it has robert mueller cannot determine whether mr. trump did or did not commit a crime, but the report did not exonerate him and the president has claimed. suck no collusion and no obstruction. we had nothing. a total no collusion finding.

here's robert mueller from 2013.was speaking at the commencement address at the college of william and mary. say to what he had to the graduating seniors that day. with integrity because it is so essential to who and what you ultimately will become. career pathhave a and mine. many of you have no idea where you will end up. a few of you may be surprised by where life takes you. i certainly was. and in the end it is not only what we do but how we do it. careeress of your chosen you are only as good as your word. you can be smart, aggressive, articulate and indeed persuasive. but if you are not honest your reputation will suffer and once can, a good reputation never be regained. saying goes, if you have integrity, nothing else matters. and if you don't have integrity, nothing else matters. you take from that commencement address? ityou can tell that he means and i think integrity is an inreasingly rare quality american society. i think this is why rod chose robert mueller to be special counsel because he is perceived b

director robert mueller., mary mccord was acting head of the national security division in 2016 and '17. she is mentioned in mueller's rert, as part of the team that went to the white house to voice warnings about former national serity adviser michael flynn. they both have worked at justice moin both atic and republican administrations. hello to both of you. we have been together all day long, but let's try to sum it all up. john carlin, what, for you, is the main takeawa? we heard robert mueller saying, daat several points it's not normal for a prosecutor to be testifying before congress. >> that's right, and you saw different agendas. i think you saw the democrats caying to use this moment to make the amepeople more aware of certain parts of the report and use it as feeder in that regard. you saw the republicans by and largest special in the earlg mornying to attack the credibility of mr. mueller and his team. and you saw mr. mueller and his agenda, which was to stick with othe departmejustice guidance in

that was the one time we saw robert mueller say what he believes. >> do you think robert mueller is happy >> i don't. i think that's in part because robert mueller didn't want to be there in the first place. he went out of his way to say, you know, this is not -- i don't want to be on capitol hill testifying. i think yesterday he beared that out. >> yes. >> garrett graff, thank you very much. >>> boris johnson has been british prime minister for one day and there are already big changes in the u.k. that's next. maria ramirez? hi. maria ramirez! mom! maria! maria ramirez... mcdonald's is committing 150 million dollars in tuition assistance, education, and career advising programs... prof: maria ramirez mom and dad: maria ramirez!!! to help more employees achieve their dreams. (michelle) i know what it's like to be in a financially struggling family.! we had a lot of leftovers...[chuckles] i couldn't have asked for better parents, but like most people they didn't have anyone to teach them the best financial habits. so we changed that. as a financial health coach, i help people every day. i

of course congress wants robert mueller to answer more questions. but i think now we can understand that he did not want to charge a man who could not defend himself because he would not go to court. and then i think what robert mueller brought home that day, what we all still need to focus on, because it hasn't gone away, is the overt actions of a foreign government to interfere in our election. i think he really called us to arms that day to ask our federal government whether or not they're doing enough to protect us now. >> frank figliuzzi, if we can agree for the purposes of this conversation, something you touched on, that robert mueller is an as taciturn individual o another era, is demanding his testimony on the part of house democrats potentially a case of, be careful what you wish for? >> yeah, i think we've got a solid glimpse of mueller publicly, and i can tell from you having worked with him that what you saw is what you're going to get. you're going to get a man who sticks to the four corners of his report, who tells you it's in there,

as much as robert mueller? >> our focus is going to definitely be on mueller, and our goal is to let mueller speak because if he just describes what is in the report, that's very, very damaging to the president. but it is very good that zebley is going to be there as well because if it's just to give advice, he's going to have specific details about all of those interactions you mentioned. also, we're establishing the precedent that we've been fighting for that some of these investigators, we have a right to call them. >> yes. >> to inquire what's going on. mueller is at the top, but a lot of the people doing the details, where they know what the negotiations were, they know what happened, they're relevant to get the story out to the american people, so we think -- we're glad that he's going to be there and we are glad that he's going to be sworn in. >> and the -- every member of the committee has a staff member nearby. when you're not coming up with exactly the right thing in the right moment. so the idea that

somehow, robert mueller did not know that. what does that say about roberts before. we are not going to speculate about it. what we can't say for certain though is that robert mueller never should have been testifying before congress today. he didn't want to come. he came because democrats forced him. they knew his condition. they were happy to exploit him anyway. the individual is always far less important than the mission. the mission never changes. acquiring political power. watch the shameless jerry nadler of new york shame mueller. throughout the >> what about total exoneration? did you actually totally exonerate the president? mueller no. >> mueller did not exonerate the president. that was the headline. if course it was the headline. that was the point. to create a headline. prosecutors don't exonerate anyone ever. prosecutors charge people with crimes or they don't. that's the full scope of their power. only god exonerates. the whole thing was a dishonest word game. robert mueller conceded that his was the first justice department investigation and history to

did you have a question for lou roberts? brad, go ahead. >> i thought her name was mary louise parker x >> there is a mary louise parker. >> go ahead with your comment, it's fine. >> at any rate, i apologize. professor, the role of the french resistance, i since i was young have never been able to find any good resources on the french resistance. as far as specifics can you recommend any resources or resources or something dealing with that? thank you. >> french resistance played a huge part in the d-day invasion . one of the reasons i wrote this book is because d-day has always been seen as an american story. and it has been told within a national frame. what i tried to do was turn the lens around. i envisioned roberts picture where he is showing the g.i. as they go up the beach and i turned the camera around. what was that like for the french looking down from the beach and there were civilians which we have already talked about. but there were also a lot of men, a lot of resistance men who were in eisenhower's view equal

why would robert mueller say that?is evidence showing he could indict a president but for the olc memorandumo, the department of justice guideline saying he could not. >> i want to turn now to the president's attacks on these four congresswomen of color. you heard what he said about them last week and what he's been saying. and he released a campaign video last week that ended with "one squad under god." and then this happened during his remarks today in washington. watch this. >> so above all else we know this, that in america we don't worship government, we worship god. [ cheers and applause ] [ crowd chanting "one squad under god" ] no, i'm not disavowing me. they'd like me -- would you disavow that? no, thank you. >> what's your reaction? >> i think donald trump is again trying to divide america. when he goes after immigrants and u.s. citizens and tells us to go back to our country, that is racist. it's hurtful. i served in the active duty in the united states military because i love america. people have told me th

>> hey, robert. we definitely felt it here in anaheim as beverly mentioned we were on our way to a story here in anaheim just down the street, an officer involved shooting on the 91 freeway at cramer. we came to this carl's junior to grab some food and use the restroom. i was waiting in line for the restroom and sort of my worst fear came true. i felt some shaking and so i ran out. and then everybody around the restaurant was kind of stopped and then asked was that just an earthquake. it got stronger and stronger. a similar motion to yesterday's a swaying motion. this is eric along with his niece noah. tell me what you heard, tell me what you felt. >> we were walking to the carl's junior to get some food and we -- there was a car guy in a car and his car started shaking and he asked us when we walked by. he was like do you feel it. feel what? then i could see his car moving a lot. oh, we're having an earthquake. >> what went through your mind at that point? all of us experienced yesterday's strong ea

zebly walking next to robert mueller, will still be sitting alongside him and robert mueller can confer with him as he answers questions and can get his input. this set off a scramble. it's not unusual for robert mueller to have counsel with him to advise him. of course there are a lot of boundaries he has to stay within that doj has instructed him about. it raises questions about why this request was made so last minute for him to be sworn in. his spokesman says the request for him to sit alongside him was actually made nor than a week ago. here is what that statement said. aaron zebley was the deputy special counsel and had day-to-day oversight of the investigations conducted by the office. he will accompany special counsel mueller to the wednesday hearings as was discussed with the committees more than a week ago. >> evan, what are you hearing? you've been doing some reporting on this as well. it's a pretty surprise last-minute request. >> it is a surprise. and as pamela mentioned, i think it is not unusual for a witness like this to have someone who is sitting behind him, counsel, s

robert mueller doesn't want to testify before congress. he's made that clear in that may 29th public statement that he gave. i asked what's his demeanor like, what will we see? what kind of robert mueller will we see in this big blockbuster set of hearings. the spokesperson basically said, well, we'll leave it until wednesday. a lot of prep going on, but we're likely not to see much more beyond the report itself. >> a lot of people will be watching. special coverage will begin at 8:00 a.m. eastern. thank you so much. we'll go to capitol hill now where democrats say mueller's testimony is make or break. our senior congressional correspondent, manu raju is on the scene for us. what are you learning about how democrats are preparing and what they're hoping to get out of this hearing? >> reporter: this has been some of the most intensive deliberations and preparations of any congressional hearing in recent memory. behind the scenes, democrats and also republicans have held separate mock hearing sessions, very unusual on capitol hill for doing

special counsel robert mueller definitely seemed older than his 74 years. he seemed less on top of matters, i think, than anybody who has worked with him in the past appeared to have expected in terms of his appearance today. there had been the justice department threat ahead of today's testimony that mueller shouldn't tread outside the bounds of his report and he shouldn't talk about uncharged third parties and shouldn't talk about any decision-making processes and he did reference those boundaries at times today, but he surely went outside them at times, as well. and he did so in ways that -- it seems to me, point these sort of neon big bright arrows towards what we couldn't and didn't get from him today that it now seems fairly imperative to chase down. given the unrelentingly dire descriptions he gave about the president's conduct and the conduct of the president's campaign and its ongoing implications for the country. seems like they gave us two big directions today that feel imperative in terms of what we try to figure out next and the paths that we n
