Several Trump associates who were subjects of Robert Mueller’s “crime wave of defamation” are pressing Republican lawmakers to ask the former special counsel why they were targeted when he testifies before Congress on July 17.

“There are over a dozen Trump associates never accused of any wrongdoing yet mentioned more than 100 times each in often misleading and pejorative ways,” in the Mueller report, a former Trump adviser who asked not to be named for fear of receiving a Democratic subpoena, told The Washington Times.

Mueller will appear before two panels — the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Judiciary Committee — in open session. He is scheduled for a total of four hours of open testimony, followed by closed-door sessions.

The adviser wants Republicans to ask why Mueller violated the spirit of Justice Department guidelines which said he was to investigate “any links” between Trump colleagues and Russia.
