The House Judiciary Committee is forging ahead with plans to allow panel lawyers to question William Barr in a hearing set for Thursday, though the Justice Department hasn't said whether the attorney general will appear.
As senators questioned Attorney General Bill Barr on Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee forged ahead with plans to allow panel lawyers to question him in a hearing set for Thursday, though the Justice Department hasn't said whether the attorney general will appear.
The Justice Department has not confirmed the attorney general’s appearance on Thursday after objecting to the format of questioning. Democrats said Wednesday that the newly-released letter special counsel Robert Mueller sent Barr in March calling for the release of his own investigative summaries highlighted the importance of allowing committee lawyers to question the Barr more extensively.
