Jerrold Nadler, the chairman of the House judiciary committee, said he would be calling Barr to testify to his committee about what Nadler called the “very concerning discrepancies and final decision making” described in the AG's letter
Special counsel Robert Mueller found that neither Donald Trump nor any of his aides colluded with Russia during the 2016 election, according to letter delivered to Congress on Sunday by the US attorney general.
Mueller has filed no further indictments following an almost two year-long investigation that has seen some of Trump’s closest advisers criminally prosecuted and convicted.As Mueller was unable to draw a conclusion on whether Trump obstructed justice throughout the investigation, it was left to Barrand deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein, both appointed by Trump, to decide not to pursue charges.
The attorney general faces increasingly bipartisan calls to release Mueller’s report in full, as well as the evidence underlying it. Some Democrats have signaled they will use subpoena powers to obtain the full document, and may also call Mueller to testify before Congress.
Trump Jr continued: “Sadly, instead of apologizing for needlessly destabilizing the country in a transparent attempt to delegitimize the 2016 election, it’s clear that the Collusion Truthers in the media and the Democrat [sic] party are only going to double down on their sick and twisted conspiracy theories moving forward.”
Barr was nominated by Trump to be attorney general after he sent the justice department a private memo sharply criticising Mueller’s investigation and arguing that Mueller should even not be allowed to question Trump about potential obstruction.
