“He’s here,” Cohen reportedly joked to his colleagues as he walked into the room with a bucket of KFC and a small statue of a chicken.
Democratic Representative Steve Cohen called out Attorney General William Barr for being too chicken—literally—to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday about Robert Mueller’s Russia report.
Thursday’s hearing would have allowed members of Congress and staff lawyers to question the attorney general over his controversial handling of the final Mueller report, which was redacted and made available to the public on April 18. “Given [Barr’s] lack of candor in describing the work of the special counsel, our members were right to insist that staff counsel be permitted to question the attorney general,” Nadler told reporters before Wednesday’s mock hearing.
On Wednesday, Barr was slammed by Senate Democrats over the Mueller report and his decision to clear President Trump of obstruction of justice. Barr was also criticized after he admitted that neither he or Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein looked at any underlying evidence from the investigation before coming to their conclusion that Trump did not obstruct justice.
