The Senate Judiciary Committee met on May 1 for a hearing with Attorney General Bill Barr concerning the release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 elections, which was released to the public on April 18, 2019.

During the testimony, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.) opened the hearing by announcing his intention to investigate law enforcement officials who supported Clinton and targeted Trump during the election. Graham stated, “once the Mueller report is put to bed, and it will be soon, this committee is going to look long and hard at how all of this started,” the Washington Examiner reported.
