Attorney General William Barr still believes special counsel Robert Mueller should be allowed to testify before Congress, despite President Donald Trump's apparent objection, according to a source familiar with the attorney general's thinking.
As the head of the Justice Department and Mueller's boss, Barr could attempt to block the testimony if he chooses. The president's tweet over the weekend raised questions about whether he was instructing Barr to stop the special counsel's requested testimony from happening.....to testify. Are they looking for a redo because they hated seeing the strong NO COLLUSION conclusion? There was no crime, except on the other side , and NO OBSTRUCTION. Bob Mueller should not testify. No redos for the Dems!
So far there are no indications that any such order has been delivered to Barr from the White House and the source says Barr has not changed his position. "I've already said publicly I have no objection to him testifying," Barr said last week before the Senate Judiciary Committee.Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee announced on Monday they will move forward with plans to hold Barr in contempt of Congress for refusing to produce the full, unredacted special counsel report. The committee is scheduled to meet on Wednesday morning to advance the contempt citation.
