William Barr to defend his handling of Mueller report in face of Senate furor
Barr is likely to face a barrage of questions from Democrats at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing over a letter revealed Tuesday night in which Mueller wrote to object to his characterization of the special counsel investigation in his four-page summary.According to his prepared opening statement released late Tuesday, Barr will defend his characterization of Mueller's investigation.
"There doesn't appear to be similar drama over whether Barr appears Wednesday, but that doesn't mean the questions won't be just as contentious from Senate Democrats on the Judiciary panel, including three -- Sens. Klobuchar, Kamala Harris of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey -- who are running for President.
