Senate committee delays vote on Trump's attorney general pick

Delaying the committee's vote will give Democrats more time to question Barr about how he would handle Mueller's investigation into the Trump campaign's possible ties to Russia during the 2016 presidential election. Barr criticized the investigation last year in a memo to the Justice Department but he told the committee in testimony two weeks ago that he would protect the probe from political interference and would allow Mueller to conclude his work. Trump has repeatedly criticized the investigation as a "witch hunt" and denies any collusion with Moscow.
