Attorney General Barr Appears Before Congress for First Time Since Mueller ReportApril 9, 2019, at 6:07 a.m.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General William Barr appeared before a congressional panel on Tuesday for the first time since Special Counsel Robert Mueller completed his report into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Many lawmakers were particularly irked that Barr took it upon himself to decide that Trump should not be charged with obstruction of justice, after saying Mueller's report laid out evidence "on both sides" of the question without reaching a conclusion.
The New York Times and the Washington Post have since reported that some investigators on Mueller's team were unhappy with the way Barr described their findings.
In fact, some of the evidence against Trump was more damning than Barr's letter indicated, according to the news reports.
Last week, Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee prepared subpoenas that they plan to issue to the Justice Department if Barr does not agree to release the Mueller report in full.

I thought this was supposed to be about the budget, not about the Mueller Report?
I'm so confused!

on the committee is kinda, "You want a budget, give us the report."
Worth a try, anyway.
