Today is the deadline set by House Democrats for Attorney General William Barr to hand over special counsel Robert Mueller’s full report and underlying materials. Last week, Jerry Nadler, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, threatened to hold Barr in contempt if he failed to submit the report by today’s deadline. Last Thursday, Barr refused to appear before the House Judiciary panel for questioning about the report. Meanwhile, President Trump tweeted Sunday that Mueller should not testify before Congress, adding, “No redos for the Dems!” The tweet reversed a statement two days prior saying the decision about Mueller’s testimony should be up to Barr, who previously said he had no problem with lawmakers questioning the special counsel. Lawmakers proposed May 15 as the date for Mueller’s testimony.
