Barr testimony delayed after Jerry Nadler gets into car accident
WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 28: House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) reads a statement before questioning U.S. Attorney General William Barr during a House Judiciary Committee hearing in the Congressional Auditorium at the U.S. Capitol Visitors Center July 28, 2020 in Washington, DC. In his first congressional testimony in more than a year, Barr is expected to face questions from the committee about his deployment of federal law enforcement agents to Portland, Oregon, and other cities in response to Black Lives Matter protests; his role in using federal agents to violently clear protesters from Lafayette Square near the White House last month before a photo opportunity for President Donald Trump in front of a church; his intervention in court cases involving Trump's allies Roger Stone and Michael Flynn; and other issues. | (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
