The committee’s Republican chairman, Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, said the panel will vote on Barr on Tuesday, though it’s likely Democrats will seek to postpone it.
Barr, who previously served as attorney general between 1991 and 1993, had a confirmation hearing earlier this month and is expected to be approved by the Republican-controlled Senate.
Some Democrats have said their support for Barr is contingent on his pledge to release the findings of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into potential coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign.
Barr has not made any promises but has said he wants to disclose as much as he can.
