Mueller has already slapped criminal charges on two people for making false statements to the committee in the course of its Russia investigation: President Trump's longtime attorney and fixer, Michael Cohen, and former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone. [...]

Other members of Trump's inner circle who've appeared before the committee include:

Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law

Brad Parscale, digital media director of the 2016 campaign

Keith Schiller, Trump's former bodyguard

Erik Prince, founder of the private security firm Blackwater

Hope Hicks, former White House communications director

Felix Sater, a former Trump real estate associate

Steve Bannon, Trump's former White House chief strategist

Alexander Nix, former CEO of the political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica

A total of 73 witnesses appeared before the committee, according to a report released this year by its former Republican leadership.

House intel committee chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) has said for weeks that turning over transcripts to the special counsel's office would be one of his first moves after Democrats took control of the committee following November's midterm election.
