In his first appearance on Capitol Hill since taking office, Attorney General William Barr appears before a House Appropriations subcommittee on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, April 9, 2019. Appearing before Congress for the first time since submitting his summary of Special Counsel Robert Mueller
Appearing before Congress for the first time since submitting his summary of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of the 2016 campaign, Attorney General William Barr pushed back against giving more details of Mueller’s report, which he said found no collusion between President Trump's campaign and Russia.
Rep. Nita Lowey, chairwoman of the full Appropriations Committee, accused Barr of “cherry pick from the report to draw the most favorable conclusion possible" for Trump. “There was some inkling as to some of the thinking of the special counsel,” added Barr. He said he’d met with Mueller and his team early March and had a preliminary discussion about the report. “So we had an inkling as to what was coming our direction,” he said.
