U.S. Attorney General William Barr testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday regarding special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference. Sen. Patrick Leahy is a member of the committee that questioned Barr.
The Senate committee hearing began Wednesday morning. The testimony comes about two weeks after Barr .
During the hearing, Leahy accused Barr of "misleading" the Senate Judiciary Committee about key elements of Mueller's report. Leahy wanted to know how Barr could conclude in his summary of the report that President Donald Trump had "cooperated fully" with Mueller.
The committee hopes to hear from Mueller later this month.
