House Judiciary Committee sets Wednesday vote to hold AG Barr in contempt over Mueller report
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., set a Wednesday vote to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress.
Attorney General William Barr testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee at the Dirksen Building, May 1, 2019, in Washington, DC.House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., set a Wednesday vote to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress for defying the panel's subpoena for an unredacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia report.
"The attorney general's failure to comply with our subpoena, after extensive accommodation efforts, leaves us no choice but to initiate contempt proceedings in order to enforce the subpoena and access the full, unredacted report," Nadler said in a statement. "They know the Justice Department is working to negotiate even as they pursue contempt charges, making their move today illogical and disingenuous," Collins said. "Democrats have launched a proxy war smearing the attorney general when their anger actually lies with the president and the special counsel, who found neither conspiracy nor obstruction."
