Lawmakers will have the chance to question AG William Barr on his handling of special counsel Robert Mueller's report when he returns to Capitol Hill for the first time since releasing the probe's highly anticipated findings earlier this month.
Lawmakers will have the chance on Wednesday to question Attorney General William Barr on his controversial handling of special counsel Robert Mueller's report when the nation's top law enforcement officer returns to Capitol Hill for the first time since releasing the probe's highly anticipated findings earlier this month.
In a letter dated March 27, Mueller complained that Barr's interpretation"did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this office's work and conclusions." A Justice Department spokeswoman said in a follow-up phone call, Mueller"emphasized that nothing in the Attorney General's March 24 letter was inaccurate or misleading."
Democrats have accused Barr of"[shaping] the public's perception of the report," according to Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight Committee, by issuing his short letter, then conducting a press conference framing the report's findings hours prior to its release. Barr's initial communique conveyed that Mueller's team found no evidence to suggest members of the Trump campaign"conspired or coordinated" with Russians to influence the election and reached no conclusion on the matter of possible obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump.
