William Barr, President Donald Trump's nominee for U.S. attorney general, is set to go before the Senate Judiciary Committee for a confirmation hearing Jan. 15.
Outgoing Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and his likely successor, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), announced the hearing date Wednesday, noting that confirmation hearings for the past five attorneys general have last two days each.
“Mr. Barr will receive the same fair and thorough vetting process as the last five nominees to be attorney general,” the statement announcing the hearing said.
