Trump says Barr will decide whether Mueller can testify

President Trump Thursday said he would leave it up to his attorney general to decide whether special counsel Robert Mueller would testify before Congress on his investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Barr, a longtime, respected Washington presence, has become the object of scorn for Democrats, who say he is acting more as the president’s personal lawyer than the attorney general with respect to the Mueller report.
