Beyond the Russia probe, Barr and Assistant Attorney General Lee Loftus are expected to testify before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on the Justice Department's budget for 2019.
The official purpose of the hearing, which is conducted by the House Appropriations Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, is to discuss Barr's fiscal year 2020 spending request for the Department of Justice. However, top Democrats are expected to grill the attorney general on his Mueller report summary.
