House Judiciary Committee hears testimony regarding William Barr's recent actions

The U.S. House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on June 24, focused on the unprecedented "politicization" of the Department of Justice (DOJ) under President Donald Trump and Attorney General William Barr.

Ex-Roger Stone prosecutor Aaron Zelinsky spoke at the hearing, along with other witnesses. John Elias, a career official in the department’s antitrust division, spoke as well.

Stone was convicted on all seven counts of an indictment that accused him of lying to Congress, tampering with a witness and obstructing the House investigation into whether the Trump campaign co-ordinated with Russia to tip the 2016 election.

Zelinsky alleged during the hearing that Stone was treated differently from other defendants "in his circumstances" due to his friendship with President Donald Trump.

“What I heard ⁠— repeatedly ⁠— was that Roger Stone was being treated differently from any other defendant because of his relationship to the president,” Zelinsky said.

During his opening remarks at the hearing, former U.S. Deputy Attorney General Donald Ayer went over his allotted time, resulting in Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert repeatedly tapping on his desk to interrupt. Gohmert and Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler then got into a heated exchange regarding procedural rules.
