Special Counsel Robert Mueller will speak about the Russia investigation at about 11:00 am ET, according to an announcement released by the Trump administration early Wednesday morning.
Mueller has not spoken publicly in more than 2 years.
The Justice Department says Mueller's statement will be “on the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential election. This will be a statement only.”
This is a breaking news event, and this blog post will be updated as Mueller speaks.
if you think there's more than a 20% chance Mueller is gonna say anything earth-shattering today, you have learned nothing through this whole process

I am very skeptical Mueller is going to drop any bombshells. I expect this is about the draft indictment claim by @MichaelWolffNYC and the issue of Mueller testifying. Nothing more.

Reasons, beyond Peter Carr's denial, to be skeptical about Michael Wolff's claim that he saw a draft obstruction indictment of Trump drawn up by Mueller's teamhttps://t.co/t9LvdQ9oPi pic.twitter.com/d2SpXrE5bD
