US Attorney General William Barr will be subpoenaed if does not appear for a hearing of the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee tomorrow, Democratic Representative Hakeem Jeffries has said
"We plan on subpoenaing him if he decides not to show up. He can run but he can't hide," Mr Jeffries told reporters.
Mr Barr was today appearing before the US Senate Judiciary Committee and faced tough questions over why he concluded that US President Donald Trump had not obstructed justice. The attorney general and his deputy Rod Rosenstein determined however there was insufficient evidence to establish that President Trump had committed obstruction.
His appearance before the US Senate comes after a letter he received from Mr Mueller was made public.
