Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker will testify in January before a House panel controlled by Democrats who have raised concerns that he might end Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling.

"This afternoon, acting Attorney General Whitaker committed to appear before the House Judiciary Committee in January at a mutually agreeable date, which we look forward to," said likely incoming Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler of New York and likely Oversight incoming Chairman Elijah Cummings of Maryland, in a joint statement.
