House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler issued a request Thursday for special counsel Robert Mueller to testify to Congress “as soon as possible.”
“As I have already communicated to the Department of Justice, I request your testimony before the Judiciary Committee as soon as possible – but, in any event, no later than May 23, 2019,” Nadler wrote. “I look forward to working with you on a mutually agreeable date.”
Mueller’s report will be released on Thursday, but some elements of the nearly 400-page briefing will be redacted – and Nadler and his committee will likely want to ask the special counsel to fill in those gaps.

And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
