Congress got its first crack at questioning Attorney General William Barr about his conclusions on the Mueller Report on May 1 in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing room. As if that didn’t create enough drama, three of the members of the committee are running for president and looking to stand out.

CQ Roll Call Senior Senate Reporter Niels Lesniewski sat through all of it, all while working on 4 stories.
