• House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler announced he will call Attorney General William Barr to testify before the committee "in the near future" about special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
• Nadler cited what he views as "concerning discrepancies and final decision making at the Justice Department" as the impetus for calling Barr to testify. 
• Barr's summary of Mueller's findings said that while Mueller did not "draw a conclusion — one way or the other — as to whether the examined conduct constitutes obstruction," Mueller's report "also does not exonerate" Trump of any criminal conduct. 

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler announced he will call Attorney General William Barr to testify before the committee "in the near future" about the findings of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, which Mueller submitted to Barr on Friday. 

"In light of the very concerning discrepancies and final decision making at the Justice Department following the Special Counsel report, where Mueller did not exonerate the President, we will be calling Attorney General Barr in to testify," Nadler wrote in a Sunday tweet following the release of Barr's summary of the report.
