After lying about the Mueller report, Attorney General William Barr seems worried about Robert Mueller's congressional testimony.
Special counsel Robert Mueller is scheduled to testify before Congress on July 17, and Attorney General William Barr is suddenly hoping he won't.
"I'm not sure what purpose is served by dragging him up there and trying to grill him," Barr told the Associated Press on Monday. "I don't think Mueller should be treated that way or subject himself to that, if he doesn't want to."
Barr went further, according to Politico, saying the Department of Justice would absolutely support Mueller if he decided to defy Congress and not testify, even though Mueller is no longer a DOJ employee.
Barr's comments on Monday are a far cry from his statements to the press in April. On the day the redacted Mueller report was released to the public, Barr said he had "no objection to Bob Mueller personally testifying" about the report.
