Trump decision to publicly object to special counsel Robert Muellers testimony has raised pressure on Attorney General William Barr while stoking a deepening feud with Capitol Hill over presidential power.
Barr has maintained that he is willing to allow Mueller to testify, a position that now appears to put him at odds with the president.
Until this weekend, Trump had expressed ambivalence over Muellers testimony, leaving the decision up to Barr.
He altered course Sunday, stating in a tweet that Mueller should not testify and declaring once again that Muellers findings had proven NO COLLUSION and NO OBSTRUCTION.
Barr, at a news conference on April 18, said he did not object to Mueller testifying, something he reiterated in testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee last week. Barr also told Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) that the White House was not exerting influence on his decision of whether and when to allow Mueller to testify.
