William Barr's appearance will follow reports of a letter written by Robert Mueller criticizing the attorney general's summary of the special counsel's report.
Attorney General William Barr will face lawmakers for the first time since releasing a redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report on the Russia investigation in what is expected to be a dramatic showdown on Wednesday.
The Justice Department told the Times that Mueller expressed frustration with Barr’s initial four-page summary of the report, in which the attorney general stated there was no collusion and cleared President Donald Trump of obstruction of justice—a decision that stunned legal experts and former federal prosecutors.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler has also demanded that the letter Mueller sent Barr be handed over to Congress. He’s also called for the special counsel to testify before lawmakers. Despite facing heavy scrutiny, Barr has defended himself and his handling of the special counsel’s investigation and is expected to do the same during his testimony on Wednesday, according to Barr’s prepared opening statement.
