In just minutes, attorney general William Barr will make his first appearance before Congress since he released special counsel Robert Mueller's final report into Russian interference in the 2016 campaign two weeks ago.
The Senate Judiciary Committee hearing room is prepared for Atty. Gen. William Barr, who will face lawmakers' questions Wednesday for the first time since releasing special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's Russia report.
The attorney general has said he will review the court-authorized surveillance of a former Trump campaign aide during the 2016 campaign, which Barr described as “spying” during a previous hearing. The Justice Department’s inspector general is also reviewing the matter. Mueller was responding to a four-page letter sent on March 23 by Barr to Congress that issued his top line findings of the special counsel’s probe.
