For the first time since he was appointed in May 2017 to lead the investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia to sway the 2016 election, Special Counsel will make a statement about the investigation that infamously ended earlier this year without finding evidence of collusion or obstruction.
The statement is set for 11 am ET, and won't be followed by a Q&A. Notably, the statement comes one day after the Guardian published excerpts from Michael Wolff's upcoming book claiming that Mueller had written up a three-count indictment of Trump on obstruction charges, but ultimately decided not to pursue it.
The statement also comes as Congressional Democrats have tried and - so far, at least - failed to entice Mueller to testify publicly before a House Committee about the investigation.
The House Judiciary Committee has been trying to obtain the unredacted Mueller report and the underlying documents, again, with little success.
Mueller has been infamously tight-lipped since the investigation began: In fact, the closest he has come to making a public statement was telling MSNBC to piss off after reporters ambushed Mueller and his wife after an Easter Mass, which occurred a few days after the Mueller report's release disappointed Russiagate conspiracy theorists.
A spokesman for the special counsel insisted that such an indictment never existed, even as Wolff and the Guardian claimed to have seen the document.
Both the Dems and President Trump must be on edge here, since nobody knows what Mueller is going to say.
