Jerry Nadler says Mueller report presents 'very substantial evidence' Donald Trump guilty of 'high crimes and misdemeanors'

For Democrats, this is five hours that really matter – finally being able to get Robert Mueller to answer on-the-record questions about his Russia investigation.

The former special counsel has already said that he will not answer questions during his appearance on Wednesday that go beyond what was contained within his 448-page report, but many Democrats do not need him too.

Answers to three simple questions is what dozens in congress hope will help spark impeachment proceedings against President Trump.
