 Moments after news broke late Tuesday that Special Counsel Robert Mueller agreed to testify before Congress next month in an open session, Fox News host Sean Hannity claimed the testimony was nothing short of harassment of the President of the United States.
In a joint statement on Tuesday night, the House Intelligence and House Judiciary Committees announced that Mueller would publicly testify before the House on July 17. The two committees issued a subpoena to compel Mueller's testimony, marking the first time anyone from the special counsel's office will have appeared before Congress to discuss the Russia investigation.
The pro-Trump Hannity, who has spent more than two years discrediting the special counsel, devoted much of his program Tuesday night to downplaying the significance of Mueller's upcoming testimony.

 Alex Wong/GettySpecial Counsel Robert Mueller has agreed to testify before Congress on July 17 on his report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, the House Judiciary Committee and House Intelligence Committee announced Tuesday night.
The decision to issue subpoenas to compel Mueller to testify is a landmark move that will put an end to a months-long saga on Capitol Hill where lawmakers have for weeks fought to get access to information about whether President Trump obstructed justice.

But the White House has put forward a strategy of stonewalling Congress at every move, exerting executive privilege and preventing former officials and staffers from testifying. The House Foreign Affairs Committee did interview former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson last month about his experience working with Trump on matters related to foreign policy, including Russia relations.

 David McNew/GettyThe Democratic candidates vying for the chance to topple President Trump in 2020 will face off for the first time this Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
The ever-growing field of presidential hopefuls has been whittled down to a mere 20 candidates for the first Democratic presidential primary debates. And in an attempt at quality over quantity, the debaters have been split into two randomized groups: Ten candidates will debate on June 26, and the other ten will square off the following evening.
This week's debates will be the first chance for voters to compare in real time the candidate's plans for the country, where they stand on crucial policy issues—such as healthcare and taxes—as well as spot any possible red flags that may emerge in a high-pressure situation like these debates.
