U.S. Attorney General William Barr has refused to testify to the Democratic-led House Judiciary Committee on his handling of the Russia inquiry.
Mr Barr had previously objected to a plan for lawyers to ask questions at Thursday’s hearing.
This refusal raises the prospect that Mr Barr, could be held in contempt of Congress.
