US Attorney General William Barr Warns To Skip Mueller Hearing

Washington: US Attorney General William Barr has warned Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee that he won’t show up to this week’s highly anticipated hearing if they stick to the format the chairman has proposed for the questioning, the media reported. William Barr is scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday and the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday, CNN reported. Skipping this week’s hearing would amount to a dramatic escalation in the growing fight between President Donald Trump’s administration and House Democrats over a range of oversight requests, including over access to the unredacted report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller, the subject of Thursday’s hearing. But it’s still possible they could reach a deal by Thursday, meaning Barr might ultimately show. (IANS)
