Then-Attorney General Barr supported the president's decision in the Iran-Contra case, which gave clemency to people who had been officials in the administration of President Ronald Reagan, including former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger. He had been set to go on trial to face charges about lying to Congress.

Democrats are expected to press Barr on Tuesday about his views on the ongoing Russia investigation, about which he has been critical.
Trump has said pardons in the Russia case are not off the table, and people including former prosecutor Carrie Cordero have taken notice.
