Iran Press/America: It will be the first time Barr, who assumed in February last year after being picked by Donald Trump, has appeared before the panel tasked with overseeing his actions.
As Barr’s spokeswoman announced via Twitter on Wednesday, the attorney general’s decision to testify on 28 July, the Judiciary panel was interviewing three current and former Department of Justice officials who have accused Barr of applying political pressures within the department to help the friends of the president.
Over the last 16 months, House Democrats and former Justice Department officials from both parties have excoriated Barr for his department’s actions surrounding the report of former special counsel Robert Mueller; the criminal cases against Trump associates Roger Stone and Michael Flynn; and protests in Washington, DC, after the death of George Floyd.
