William Barr faces Senate ahead of Mueller report's release

Attorney General William Barr faced members of the Senate on Wednesday for the first time since taking office – and amid intense speculation over his review of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia report.

Barr isn’t coming to Congress to talk about the report, but lawmakers are expected to ask about it anyway as they anxiously wait to see it in the coming days.

The topic of the House appropriations subcommittee hearing is the Justice Department’s budget, and Barr’s prepared remarks sent to the committee on Monday focused on funding requests for immigration enforcement and to combat violent crime and opioid addiction, not mentioning Mueller’s report at all.
