Democratic presidential candidate Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., blasted Attorney General William Barr on Wednesday for declining to testify before a planned House Judiciary Committee meeting Thursday. "If the attorney general had nothing to hide, he would come testify to Congress tomorrow," Swalwell said on "The Story with Martha MacCallum." DOJ HAS 'MULTIPLE' LEAK PROBES IN PROGRESS, BARR SAYS DURING EXPLOSIVE HEARINGThe House Judiciary Committee was informed Wednesday that Barr will not testify at a planned hearing Thursday, even as Democrats who lead the committee vowed to hold the hearing anyway, and threatened a possible contempt citation.

MacCallum asked Swalwell why Democrats appear to be aggressively "jumping" on Barr, to which Swalwell responded by pointing out that Barr did not fully review all evidence.
