Barr was put in the spotlight last month when Mueller completed his 22-month investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 elections and submitted his confidential report to the Attorney General.

Barr published a March 24 summary of what he described as Mueller's key findings, revealing that the special advocate had not found enough evidence to charge anyone associated with the Trump conspiracy campaign with the Russia.

Barr also found that the evidence presented in Mueller's report was insufficient to accuse Trump of obstructing justice; The special advocate did not come to a conclusion in one way or another, and the report does not explicitly exclude Trump's exemption for obstruction, according to Barr's letter.

Trump and the Republicans seized Barr's letter to exonerate the president.

The Democrats in the House are asking Barr to publish Mueller's full report to Congress, with no wording to conceal information about the grand jury or other sensitive details.

Barr also agreed to testify before the House and Senate Judiciary Committees about Mueller's report in early May.
