Robert De Niro has urged Special Counsel Robert Mueller to leave his "comfort zone" and testify before Congress about the findings of his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. De Niro pleaded his case in an open letter titled, 'Robert Mueller, We Need to Hear More', published by the New York Times.

The actor, who has portrayed Mueller on Saturday Night Live, has argued that the Special Counsel's 400-page report does not speak for itself as Mueller has said it does because it is not written plainly enough for the average American to understand, reported dailymail.co.uk.
