U.S. Attorney for Utah John Huber won't testify Thursday before the House Oversight subcommittee as its chairman had announced previously.
Huber had been assigned by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to investigate several controversies Republicans have raised about Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation, many of them stoked by right-wing activists who believe she should be prosecuted.
Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., chairman of the Oversight’s subcommittee on government operations, had hoped Huber would provide an update on his probe.
“Mr. Huber with the Department of Justice and FBI has been having an investigation — at least part of his task was to look at the Clinton Foundation and what may or may not have happened as it relates to improper activity with that charitable foundation, so we’ve set a hearing date for December the 5th,” he told Hill.TV previously.
That hearing was postponed until Thursday because of President George H.W. Bush's funeral service.
Meadows had wanted to quiz Huber on whether any of the Clinton Foundation’s tax-exempt money was used for personal gain as well as a litany of other conservative allegations against Clinton such as her State Department’s approval of a uranium deal with Russia.
The Oversight Committee, as all other House panels, transfers to Democratic control next month because of the results of the midterm elections.
Huber's spokeswoman, Melodie Rydalch, confirmed that Huber wouldn't testify.
“Consistent with conversations between the department and the committee, Mr. Huber will not appear at the hearing,” she said.
The hearing will instead feature Tom Fitton, the head of the right-leaning Judicial Watch, a law professor and two tax professionals.

Well done jeff sessions and the GOP.
Huber, kicking the Sessions can down the road until Pelousy is in charge of flying gov’t 757s with an open bar back and forth to the People’s Republic of Calif.
Didn’t know that Mockingbird controls the Salt Lake Tribune.
House Investigations will shift to the Senate.
Is Huber a DEMOCRAT ALSO??? Geesh!! Our PATHETIC GOVT. is DISGUSTING and NOT PART OF US!
No BIAS either! /s
Yep...me too.
“House Investigations will shift to the Senate”
Where all the real hillary voters are...They’ll get to the bottom of things fer sure /s
“Is Huber a DEMOCRAT ALSO?”
Yes. So are must of the republicans in the uniparty aka the kabuki party.
” Trust Sessions... Trust the plan..”
The PLAN by Sessions were, delay tactics to the mid-terms by appointing Huber with only reporting back to Sessions, nothing else. There are no 50,000 sealed indictments waiting for the Clintons, Obama, Comey, Brennan,Clapper,Page,etc,etc.
There is a Mormon cabal plotting against Trump.
WHO can SAVE AMERICA????? Seems like we are so outnumbered that ONLY GOD could save us, and we have KICKED HIM OUT of the US!!
Sounds like he’s not been doing anything.
huber’s job was just to review the case and see if a special counsel was warranted. He would have know the answer to that 9 months ago. sessiosn was such a POS, he is part of the coverup and the ongoing deep state attack on Trump. The American government is completely corrupted and it appears there is nothing and no one that can do anything about it.
Huber, Horowitz and Session are all SeS critters. You will never see them administering justice.
It’s looking more and more like it will be left to the people.
“Huber won’t testify before House panel on Clinton probe”
That’s because he hasn’t done jack shit.
