Atty. Gen. William Barr is testifying on Wednesday to the Senate Judiciary Committee, where he'll face questions about his handling of the report on the Russia investigation from special counsel Robert Mueller.
Atty. Gen. William Barr, pictured during an earlier appearance on Capitol Hill, will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
Barr is also sure to be questioned about his comments at an April 18 news conference that put Trump’s actions in a favorable light. In Barr’s earlier letter to Congress, he said Mueller “did not find that the Trump campaign, or anyone associated with it, conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in” its efforts to stoke division over social media or to hack Democratic computers and release troves of internal documents and emails.
In his report, Mueller did not conclude whether Trump had committed the crime of obstructing justice, noting that Justice Department guidelines bar sitting presidents from facing charges. However, he wrote, the special counsel would not be precluded from saying Trump was innocent of such allegations.
