The Senate Judiciary Committee has delayed a vote on attorney general nominee William Barr’s confirmation as Democrats continue to express concern over Barr’s potential handling of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

The delay, which is not unusual, is not expected to affect Barr’s confirmation, the Post reported. He is one of dozens of nominees for whom votes were initially scheduled for Tuesday’s committee meeting.
