US Special Counsel to testify before House panels

Mueller will testify before two US House panels on the the findings of his Russia investigation on July 24.

Mueller was appointed by the US Justice Department to lead a probe into whether the campaign of Donald Trump, then Republican candidate, had colluded with Russia during the 2016 presidential elections and whether Trump had obstructed justice by hindering efforts to investigate the collusion allegations.

In a redacted version of the final report released earlier this year, Mueller's team found that no collusion took place in spite of efforts by Trump's associates - many of whom have since been indicted - to cultivate a relationship with the Russian government.

The report also did not offer a definitive decision on whether Trump had obstructed justice, though Mueller found "substantial evidence [indicating] the attempts to remove the special counsel were linked to investigations of the president's conduct".
