The prospect of House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y, gaveling a hearing with an empty chair came hours after Barr endured withering questioning from the Senate Judiciary Committee earlier in the day. “It’s a shame Members of the House Judiciary Committee won’t get the opportunity to hear from Attorney General Barr this Thursday, because Chairman Nadler chose to torpedo our hearing," House Judiciary Committee ranking member Doug Collins, R-Ga., said in a statement. Speaking to Fox News' "Hannity" Wednesday night, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham focused on the larger context. “Today, the Attorney General testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee for over five hours," Kupec said. Unfortunately, even after the Attorney General volunteered to testify, Chairman Nadler placed conditions on the House Judiciary Committee hearing that are unprecedented and unnecessary."
