                           THE MUELLER REPORT

  (Mr. ENGEL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ENGEL. Madam Speaker, I read from the Mueller report, volume II, 
page 107: ``At some point after the May 17, 2017, appointment of the 
special counsel, then-Attorney General Sessions recalled, the President 
called him at home and asked if Sessions would `unrecuse' himself. 
According to Sessions, the President asked him to reverse his recusal 
so that Sessions could direct the Department of Justice to investigate 
and prosecute Hillary Clinton, and the `gist' of the conversation was 
that the President wanted Sessions to unrecuse from `all of it,' 
including the special counsel's Russia investigation.''
  Again, the Mueller report, volume II, page 107.
