Amid the wait for the Mueller report, the attorney general goes before lawmakers, as does the nominee to succeed Rod Rosenstein as his deputy.
• Attorney General William P. Barr will go before Congress for a second straight day on Wednesday, giving lawmakers another shot to grill him about his handling of the special counsel’s report.
• Mr. Barr said on Tuesday that he would release a redacted version of the report “within a week” as he continued to work on blacking out delicate information.
• Meanwhile, the Senate Judiciary Committee is taking up the confirmation hearing of Jeffrey A. Rosen, President Trump’s nominee to succeed Rod J. Rosenstein, who appointed and oversaw the special counsel, as deputy attorney general.
In his testimony on Tuesday before the House Appropriations Committee, Mr. Barr divulged several new details about the report from the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III.
He said, for example, that he was still on track to give Congress and the public a partly blacked-out version of Mr. Mueller’s report “within a week.” Where he does censor lines, he said he would identify which of several categories of information he has said cannot be divulged to Congress — like information that is subject to grand-jury secrecy rules or identifies a “peripheral” person.
