House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., on Sunday said he is convinced special counsel Robert Mueller will testify before his panel.
"I am convinced it’s going to happen,” Schiff said during an appearance on ABC’s "This Week.”
“The American people have a right to hear what the man who did the investigation has to say and we now know we certainly can't rely on the attorney general who misrepresented his conclusions. So he is going to testify."
Democrats have been calling on Mueller to testify before Congress since he released his report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election in April. They are also requesting the release of the full, unredacted Mueller report and the special counsel’s underlying evidence.
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler and the Department of Justice negotiated over the report and Mueller's evidence earlier this week before Nadler's committee voted to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress on Wednesday.
Nadler on Friday said Mueller would not testify before Congress this upcoming week.
Schiff also told ABC News House Democrats are considering fines on Trump administration officials in order to enforce contempt actions.
"I think if you fine someone $25,000 a day ... until they comply, it gets their attention,” he said.
