Defying the U.S. Congress, Attorney General William Barr will not attend a House...
WASHINGTON - Defying the U.S. Congress, Attorney General William Barr will not attend a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Thursday on his handling of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation report, said panel Chairman Jerrold Nadler, accusing Barr of being afraid to testify.
The Justice Department also said on Wednesday it would not comply with a subpoena seeking Mueller’s full report on Russian meddling in the 2016 election and underlying investigative files from the probe. A Justice Department spokeswoman said in a statement that the panel had placed “unprecedented and unnecessary” conditions on Barr’s testimony and called the questions posed by committee staff inappropriate. “The attorney general remains happy to engage directly with members,” the statement said.
The Justice Department has made available a version of the report that has fewer redactions than the one issued publicly, withholding only grand jury information that must be kept secret by law, he added. The department would be willing to seek an accommodation over more targeted requests for Mueller-related documents, Boyd said.
