Attorney General William Barr has warned a House committee that he may pull out of a scheduled hearing focused on special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation if they plan to go ahead with the format proposed by the committee chair.

Barr told Democrats in the House Judiciary Committee that he objects to the additional rounds of questioning proposed by Chairman Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), reported CNN, citing a committee source with knowledge of the matter.
