Democrats threaten to hold Bill Barr in contempt after he cancels plans to testify in front of the House Judiciary Committee

Attorney General William Barr was supposed to testify in front of the House Judiciary Committee today; but on Wednesday night, he said he’d be a no show. Barr did testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. During that hearing, he appeared to contradict his testimony to House lawmakers weeks ago, when he told them he wasn’t aware of any concerns or criticisms that Special Counsel Robert Mueller had about his summary of Mueller’s findings.
