Fox’s Napolitano: Democrats will ‘probably’ subpoena Mueller very soon

Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano predicted that former special counsel Robert Mueller “is certainly going to testify” before the House Judiciary Committee and that Democrats are likely to subpoena him as soon as Thursday afternoon.

“He is certainly going to testify again, whether he wants to or not. He’s a private citizen, they’re probably going to serve him with a subpoena this afternoon,” Napolitano said on “Fox & Friends” Thursday morning.

{mosads}His remarks come a day after Mueller spoke publicly for the first time since beginning his now-completed Russia investigation and more than two months after submitting his report to Attorney General William Barr.

Mueller said Wednesday that if his office “had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so.”

He also said that Justice Department guidelines prohibited his office from bringing charges against the president, and that the same guidance states “the Constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoing.”

“I think [Barr and Mueller] are going to testify next to each other at the same time. That would be really dramatic,” Napolitano said.

Mueller stated Wednesday he does intend to speak again publicly.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) declined to answer questions Wednesday about whether he would subpoena Mueller.

“Mr. Mueller told us a lot of what we need to hear today,” Nadler said. The top Democrat also said “all options are on the table” when asked whether his committee would pursue impeachment proceedings.
