These are the headlines you Need 2 Know. * **Mueller on the Hill: Testimony:** Robert Mueller spent seven hours taking questions from lawmakers yesterday, but didn't go much further than what was in his report about Russian interference in the 2016 election. The former special counsel said the president was "generally untruthful" in his written responses to questions, that the investigation was not a "witch hunt," and that Russia's interference in the election is one of the biggest threats to democracy he's seen — and that it's still happening "as we sit here."

He said that a Justice Dept. policy prohibited him from considering whether to indict President Trump, though he could be indicted after he leaves office, and confirmed that the report did not exonerate Trump.

He made the announcement via Facebook, which prompted protesters to celebrate. His resignation is effective August 2 and Secretary of Justice Wanda Vázquez will be the island's next governor — though protesters are already calling for her to resign with the hashtag #WandaRenuncia trending on Twitter.

That undercuts an argument by some climate skeptics that climate change is not the result of human activity.
