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, there is always that possibility.
For the moment, I like to think Huber is not interested in handing off the results of a professional investigation to the Rat House. Much like a tactical withdrawal, that he and the current House Panel leadership have decided to place it with the Senate subcommittee chair in order to work on some loose ends.
“sessiosn was such a POS, he is part of the coverup and the ongoing deep state attack on Trump”
It’s absolutely staggering how corrupt ‘our’ fed govt truly is...I knew the Republican party was corrupt and compromised during the O’muslim usurpation but I didn’t know it was this bad. That they would coordinate, infiltrate and undermine a real President of the United States that’s a member of their ‘own’ party.
I’ve signed-up to make an ongoing donation to Judicial Watch of $50 a month. Seems they are the only ones doing anything to uncover what this corrupt government is doing. I encourage others to do the same.
Thats because there is no investigation.
There is no saving America, its over.
I don’t blame him. He enjoys breathing.
The reality is he was a show horse who did absolutely nothing relative to the investigation of either the Clinton foundation or her e mails. Just a way for Sessions to get the matter off his desk. Never called a witness or looked at a piece of paper

Wouldnt it be great to see the headline “Russian collusion conspiracy by left wing kooks who haven’t gotten over the fact that they lost an election” nah I didnt think so..when it comes to the Clintons its always a “Right wing conspiracy” but when it comes to the 2016 election, yeah Russia spending 4100 bucks on ads that no one gave a rats ass about, yeah that made a HUGE difference LOL
I’m with you.
I am just about to the point of just reading the Bible and praying that He not leave me and mine behind when He comes.

Trump's greatest gift to America is that he has yanked back the curtain and shown us just what our government really is. The rest is up to us. If we deserve better, we will demand it.
Research and look up the names yourselves on who was fired at FBI and DOJ. Guess who had to sign that order? Sessions.
Whoa!
Let me find my pearls to clutch...
Many here will say it ain’t so.
[Some letters of the alphabet must not be mentioned.]
Does the EOTP (Enemy Of The People) ever mention "left-wing activists"? I can't remember any.
House Investigations will shift to the Senate.
Senate GOP is criminally referring Trump supporters and openly colluding with the Mueller Coup. Good luck with their “investigations” of Democrats.
