The Capitol is seen at dawn Monday as the Republican-controlled Congress prepares for a hectic week unveiling and promoting its tax-cut plan. On Monday, Trump sought to discredit Mueller’s findings on Twitter, asking “why aren’t Crooked Hillary & the Dems the focus???? Feinstein meanwhile has suggested Grassley has been slow-walking the committee’s probe and surmised to reporters that a drafted subpoena for Manafort’s testimony would not be issued. “My instinct tells me they’ve been threatened to some degree by the Mueller investigation — and appropriately so,” said Cole, who does not sit on any of the panels investigating Russian meddling. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), meanwhile, stressed Monday that the developments in the Mueller probe were an argument for appointing an independent commission to examine Russian meddling.
