Hill reported earlier Friday that the Democrats were negotiating a new agreement for Mueller's testimony that would give MPs more time to question him in exchange for a delay in his appearance.

Earlier this week, legislators in the judicial panel expressed concern about the limited time available for interrogations. Under the original agreement, only 22 legislators from each committee could have questioned him on July 17, leaving several Democrats and Republicans sitting on the 41-member judicial panel with no opportunity to speak.

Republicans used a marker on Thursday to criticize Nadler over the deal and accuse him of giving time to the lawmakers of the intelligence group when the judiciary was competent to oversee the Department of Justice.

Some Democrats also admitted that the format was frustrating, but they did not dispute Nadler's case directly.

The announcement of the new deal and format came late Friday, a few hours after lawmakers left Washington for the weekend. They should return to work at Capitol Hill on Monday.

This announcement also means that Mueller will publicly testify just days before lawmakers embark on a summer vacation for a week.

House Democrats have long sought Mueller's public testimony about his investigation of Russia and wish to deepen contacts between the Trump campaigners and Russia detailed in Mueller's 448-page report, as well as several episodes of Potential obstruction of Trump.

Mueller, who carefully kept silent throughout the investigation, reported in rare public remarks in May that he did not want to testify before Congress and that he was going to not beyond the details set out in his report during any public appearance.

After weeks of behind-the-scenes bargaining, Nadler and Schiff announced late last month that Mueller would testify publicly following a subpoena.

The appearance of Mueller in Capitol Hill promises many fireworks, offering Democrats the opportunity to highlight the unsavory details of Trump's conduct detailed in Mueller's report and give Republicans the opportunity to search the man behind a probe that harassed him during his first two years in the White House.

Mueller's investigation drew a handful of Trump associates on false statements and other charges, but failed to find enough evidence to draw a plot between Trump's campaign and Russia to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.

Mueller also did not determine whether Trump had prevented the investigation itself.

Trump, who systematically and publicly ridiculed Mueller's investigation as a "witch hunt," relied on the findings to convince him of allegations of "collusion" with Russia and obstruction of justice.
