Nadler wants Barr to testify of DOJ handling of probe

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said Sunday that his committee will call Attorney General William Barr to testify over “very concerning discrepancies and final decision making” at the Justice Department over special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

“In light of the very concerning discrepancies and final decision making at the Justice Department following the Special Counsel report, where Mueller did not exonerate the President, we will be calling Attorney General Barr in to testify before @HouseJudiciary in the near future,” Nadler tweeted Sunday.

The statement was made shortly after Barr sent a letter to Congress notifying leaders of the conclusions of Mueller’s report on his investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 election.

In the letter, Barr wrote that Mueller found that no one affiliated with the Trump campaign “conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election.”
