Republican Rep. Brian Babin is calling for Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his legal team to come “out of the shadows” and answer questions before Congress on the scope and cost of the Russia meddling investigation. Babin has drafted a letter on the matter to Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., the respective chairmen of the Senate and House judiciary committees. This includes concerns about the scope of the probe and whether any of the investigators have a political agenda. Babin argues in his letter that Mueller effectively has the same authority as a U.S. attorney without having gone through the rigorous Senate confirmation process. The Senate committee on Monday said it has yet to see the letter, and the House committee did not immediately respond to questions.
