Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said Nadler's proposal to have committee lawyers question Barr was "unprecedented and unnecessary," saying questions should come from lawmakers. The Justice Department also said on Wednesday it would not comply with a Nadler-issued subpoena seeking an unredacted version of Mueller's report and underlying investigative files from the probe. To listen to some of the rhetoric, you would think that the Mueller report had found the opposite," Barr said. Barr was critical of Mueller for not reaching a conclusion himself on whether Trump obstructed the probe. Barr disputed the view that Mueller was handing the baton to Congress for possible impeachment proceedings.
