Attorney General William Barr testifies before Congress

Even if Attorney General William Barr declines to speak about the special counsel probe at this week's budget hearings, he is coming back to Capitol Hill on May 1 and May 2 for hearings specifically to answer questions about the Mueller investigation.

Those hearings will be before the Senate and House Judiciary Committees.

When will we see the report? Barr told Congress earlier this month he expected to release a redacted version of Mueller's nearly 400-page report by "mid-April, if not sooner." He said four types of information would be redacted, including grand jury material, classified information, material tied to ongoing investigation, and information that could harm "peripheral third parties."

What Democrats want: But Democrats said Barr's redactions plans are unacceptable, and they are demanding he provide Congress with the full, unredacted report and Mueller's underlying evidence. The House Judiciary Committee voted last week to authorize a subpoena for the full report and evidence.
