The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.WASHINGTON — House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler has contacted the Department of Justice to set a date for Attorney General William Barr to testify on special counsel, according to a senior aide involved in the process.
Committee Democrats are huddling this evening to discuss their next steps, according to two lawmakers on the committee. On Sunday following Barr’s release of his four-page summary of Mueller’s report, Nadler, in a joint statement, called on Barr to testify before his committee “without delay,” but did not offer a timeline. Barr's summary to Congress revealed that the special counsel had found no proof that President Trump criminally colluded with Russia.
In Sunday night’s statement, Nadler, along with House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and Oversight Committee Chair Elijah Cummings, said Barr’s summary “may be a partisan interpretation of the facts” in Mueller’s report. They said that in June of 2018, Barr telegraphed — in an unsolicited memorandum to the Justice Department before his appointment as attorney general — that the Mueller investigation was “fatally misconceived,” calling into question Barr's"objectivity,” particularly on the question of whether the president obstructed justice.
