2. Barr to testify before Congress Tuesday on budget request

Attorney General William Barr will testify before Congress on Tuesday about the Justice Department’s fiscal 2020 budget request as he faces growing questions from House Democrats concerning the findings of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

Barr is scheduled to testify publicly before members of the House Appropriations Committee alongside Assistant Attorney General for Administration Lee Lofthus at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Barr and Lofthus are also scheduled to testify the following day before the Senate Appropriations Committee at 10 a.m. on the department's budget request.

The hearings come as Barr weathers tremendous scrutiny from Democrats over news reports suggesting some of Mueller’s investigators have complained privately about Barr's four-page summary laying out Mueller’s findings. Some on Mueller's team reportedly have said Barr's letter did not adequately capture what investigators found and conveyed a more positive picture of President Trump's behavior than Mueller’s report lays out.

Fund FBI, US Attorney Offices, maybe some others. Leave out ones that are actively supporting Trump's agenda.
