The actor, who plays special counsel Robert Mueller in “Saturday Night Live” sketches, called on the prosecutor to speak publicly to Congress about his report.
The actor Robert De Niro, an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, has called on special counsel Robert Mueller to testify publicly about his report.
“There has been discussion about an appearance before Congress. Any testimony from this office would not go beyond our report,” Mueller said in his statement, which sought to clarify his hotly debated document amid multiple interpretations of its conclusions. Mueller again pointed to Justice Department guidance that it is unconstitutional to indict a sitting president.
“In your news conference, you said that your investigation’s work ‘speaks for itself.’ It doesn’t,” wrote De Niro, star of movies The Godfather: Part II and Taxi Driver. The actor told Mueller that America “needs to hear your voice. Your actual voice...We’ve learned our lesson about what can happen to the perception of your work when interpreted in rabid tweets by the president, dissected by pundits all over the map, trumpeted in bizarre terms by the president’s absurd personal lawyer and distorted by the attorney general...You are the voice of the Mueller report. Let the country hear that voice.
