U.S. House Judiciary Committee holds hearing on 'politicization' of DOJ under Trump, Barr | LIVE

The U.S. House Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on the unprecedented politicization of the Department of Justice (DOJ) under President Donald Trump and Attorney General William Barr.

Witnesses, including both current and former DOJ officials, will speak to the ongoing alleged corruption of the Department by the attorney general and the president.

The U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee also intends to subpoena Attorney General William Barr to testify about the firing of a federal prosecutor whose office had been investigating Trump's personal lawyer.

A federal prosecutor is prepared to tell Congress on Wednesday that Roger Stone, a close ally of Trump, was given special treatment ahead of his sentencing because of his relationship with the president.

Aaron Zelinsky, a career Justice Department prosecutor who was part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s team and worked on the case against Stone, will say he was told by supervisors that political considerations influenced the decision to overrule the recommendation of the trial team and propose a lighter prison sentence, according to testimony released by the House Judiciary Committee.
