In a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, Attorney General William Barr refused to commit to holding off on releasing a report by U.S. Attorney John Durham until after the 2020 election.

Hours into a grueling public event, in which Democrats repeatedly cut off their star witness much to the chagrin of Republicans present, Barr rejected the notion that the release of the federal prosecutor’s findings from his criminal inquiry into the Russia investigation before the November contest would amount to a violation of Justice Department policy or election interference.
