\n Attorney General William Barr has agreed to testify before the House Judiciary Committee next month amid threats from Chairman Jerrold Nadler of subpoenas and a possible impeachment inquiry, his spokesperson announced.<\/p>\n

Barr will deliver his testimony on July 28, at what his spokeswoman described as a \u201cgeneral oversight hearing.\u201d<\/p>\n

No mention is made of what other topics will be discussed, but the testimony will come at an especially fraught time between Barr and Nadler (D-NY).<\/p>\n

Judiciary Democrats are currently investigating two issues with relation to Barr: his decision to fire a top federal prosecutor who was investigating Rudy Giuliani, and allegations that Justice Department prosecutors were told explicitly that political considerations influenced the handling of the case of Roger Stone, a longtime Trump associate.<\/p>\n

That allegation comes from Aaron Zelinsky, a career Justice Department prosecutor who worked on cases as part of special counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s investigation, including the case against Stone.<\/p>\n

Zelinsky, one of four lawyers who quit the Stone case after the department overruled their sentencing recommendation, testified before the Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

He said in his testimony that he was told in no uncertain terms, \u201cStone was being treated differently from any other defendant because of his relationship to the president.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the issue of the top federal prosecutor, Nadler and his panel have pledged to investigate the firing of Geoffrey Berman \u2014 following an extraordinary standoff over the independence of one of the country\u2019s most important federal prosecutor\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

The US attorney for the Southern District of New York had been investigating the president\u2019s private lawyer, Rudy Giuliani before his ouster.<\/p>\n

Barr announced last Friday that Berman was stepping down and that US Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Jay Clayton would be his successor.<\/p>\n

Berman refused to resign until the Senate confirmed his successor, and said his office\u2019s investigations would continue.<\/p>\n

Only after Barr agreed to let Berman\u2019s deputy Audrey Strauss to take the reins, did Berman agree to step down.<\/p>\n

Nadler slammed Barr over the firing of Berman over the weekend, arguing that he deserved to be impeached for his actions while cautioning that the effort would be a \u201cwaste of time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The New York Democrat argued that Senate Republicans would block any of their efforts to impeach Barr.<\/p>\n

On Monday, as rumors circulated about the potential for the committee to hit Barr with a subpoena, the committee\u2019s Ranking Member Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) wrote Nadler a letter urging him instead to privately find a mutually agreeable date for the attorney general to testify.<\/p>\n

The effort app<\/a>ears to have been successful, as a date was announced within two days.<\/p>\n

With testimony set, Barr spokeswoman Kerri Kupec is hitting back at the House Democrats, calling their threats to impeach the attorney general a \u201cpolitical thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking to Fox News<\/a> on Wednesday, Kupec said, \u201cIf people have a problem with Bill Barr coming back to the Department of Justice to restore one system of justice, not a two-tiered system, I think that says a lot more about the critics than it does about the attorney general.\u201d<\/p>\n
