Witnesses over whom the president has direct authority. in the last hour or so jerry nadler said the committee still has not been able to reach an agreement to get robert mueller to testify. do we know what the holdup is? >> bill bar this morning, i believe the wall street journey moved a story from el salvador where bill barr is traveling. bill barr said its up to bob mueller. he indicated hes not going to stop mueller from testifying. i want to insert one point about muellers testimony. i th...
