House approves resolution to empower Judiciary panel to go to court to enforce subpoenas against Attorney General Barr and former Trump counsel McGahn
The resolution also authorized the House panel to take its subpoena of Attorney General William Barr to court, but an agreement struck between the Judiciary Committee and the Justice Department on Monday means the committee won't take that action — at least for now.The resolution passed 229-191 along party lines.
""The lawyers tell us that in weighing the equities between the competing claims of the executive and the legislative branches, we have very substantial powers," he said."The congressional power is at its zenith in an impeachment inquiry. How much of a difference — it is a different question."Republicans charge that the Democratic subpoena for McGahn is misguided.
