U.S. Attorney-General William Barr speaks at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention, in Nashville, Tenn., on Feb. 26, 2020.The House Judiciary Committee is launching a wide-ranging probe of Attorney-General William Barr and the Justice Department, demanding briefings, documents and interviews with 15 officials as it tries to determine whether there has been improper political interference in federal law enforcement.
“Although you serve at the President’s pleasure, you are also charged with the impartial administration of our laws,” Nadler wrote to Barr. “In turn, the House Judiciary Committee is charged with holding you to that responsibility.” Barr has already agreed to testify before the committee on March 31. It will be the first time he has appeared before the panel since he became attorney-general a year ago, and the meeting is sure to be contentious. Since Barr was sworn in, House Democrats have questioned whether he was too close to Trump, criticized his handling of former special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia report and impeached Trump for his pressure on Ukraine to investigate Democrats.
Stone was convicted of lying to Congress, witness tampering and obstructing the House investigation into whether the Trump campaign co-ordinated with Russia to tip the 2016 election. He was sentenced last week to more than three years in prison.
