Acting U.S. Attorney General Matthew Whitaker told lawmakers that he has "not interfered in any way" in the special counsel's Russia investigation as newly empowered House Democrats put the Trump administration under more scrutiny.

Democrats, who recently took over the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee, frequently clashed during Friday's hearing with Whitaker who is on his last days in his post.

The hearing is likely the only chance for lawmakers to question Whitaker, who they perceive as a Trump loyalist, while he is still acting attorney general. Trump's nominee for attorney general, William Barr, is expected to face a Senate confirmation vote next week.

Whitaker told lawmakers he had not talked to Trump about the Russia investigation and also said he never spoke with White House officials about his views on the probe before he joined the Justice Department.

Democrats have accused Trump of appointing Whitaker to try to suppress the Russia investigation. Whitaker had publicly criticized the investigation before joining the Justice Department in 2017 as chief of staff to then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Democrats Friday repeatedly accused Whitaker of being evasive in his answers to questions and the hearing was at many times combative.

At one point, Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries asked Whitaker, "How the heck did you become the head of the Department of Justice?"

At another point, Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, a Democrat, asked about whether Whitaker had ever been asked to approve any action requested by special counsel Robert Mueller.

"Mr. Chairman, I see that your 5 minutes is up," Whitaker responded, eliciting gasps from the room.

When it was Republicans turn to ask questions, they made clear they viewed the Democrats line of questioning as merely political.

The top Republican on the committee, Doug Collins, described the hearing as a "show" and said, "bring your popcorn."

Mueller and his team of prosecutors have been investigating alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia as well as looking into whether Trump, as president, obstructed justice by trying to thwart the probe.

Trump has repeatedly denied collusion with Russia and has called Mueller's investigation a "witch hunt." Russia also has rejected U.S. intelligence findings that Moscow interfered in the 2016 presidential election in an effort to boost Trump's chances.
