William Barr

Four men are scheduled to be executed in the coming weeks, which would be the first use of the federal death penalty since 2003.

Lawmakers are expected to vote Tuesday after months of political and legal disputes with the executive branch. Here's how we got here, what it means and what's coming next.

The House speaker commented after Attorney General William Barr refused to testify at a House Judiciary Committee hearing about the Mueller report.

A majority of Americans say special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation was fair, but about half of registered voters say it will not be an important factor in how they vote for president in 2020.

After the special counsel apparently found no conspiracy by the Trump campaign to attack the 2016 election with Russia, Democrats in Congress want to focus on health care with help from the president.

This is not the first time Bill Barr has led the Justice Department. The seasoned D.C. lawyer has expressed expansive views on the powers of the president — and supported past presidential pardons.

The president told reporters, "Let people see" special counsel Robert Mueller's report, as Trump again denied any collusion with Russia prior to his election in 2016.

While it was a largely symbolic vote, it represents growing bipartisan pressure on the Justice Department to disclose as much as possible about the Mueller investigation.

William Barr, nominated by President Trump to become attorney general, will face the Senate Jan. 15 and 16. If confirmed, Barr will replace acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker.
