Mueller has now deflected 60 times. Follow our live tracker.

When he spoke publicly about the report in May, Mueller said that the report would serve as his testimony and that he “would not provide information beyond that which is already public in any appearance before Congress.” This means that despite the high stakes of today’s hearings, Mueller might end up dodging more questions than he answers.

We’ll be keeping track during the hearings. The chart will track each time Mueller declines or deflects a question.
