President Trump cried foul Tuesday night after the House Judiciary Committee said it would allow attorney Aaron Zebley, one of Robert Mueller's top deputies, to provide counsel to Mueller during Wednesday's long-anticipated testimony. "What a disgrace to our system. Never heard of this before," Trump tweeted, describing Zebley as a "Never Trumper" attorney. "VERY UNFAIR, SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED," Trump said. The Judiciary Committee declined to allow Zebley as a witness, but Mueller is also due to testify before the House Intelligence Committee, and officials say the panel will allow Zebley to be sworn in and potentially answer questions from the panel, the New York Times reports. The House Judiciary Committee hearing is scheduled to begin at 8:30am, following by the House Intelligence Committee hearing at noon. More:

"I understand what my Democratic friends are trying to do, but they’re just grooming a corpse," says GOP Sen. John Kennedy. "They’re trying to keep this alive politically and they’re hoping that Mr. Mueller will say something to try to breathe new life in this. I don’t think it will succeed." Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he is "too busy" to watch the former special counsel's testimony.
