In an effort to stave off a threatened contempt vote, the DOJ said it was working to get the House Oversight Committee more documents in response to the subpoena for information regarding the 2020 census, but some materials will continue to be withheld.
Justice is also refusing to allow John Gore, a senior official in the civil rights division, to appear before the committee without department counsel in the room -- which the committee has thus far refused to allow.
"The Committee's action is premature and we are disappointed by the Committee's mischaracterization of the Department's continued and ongoing efforts to accommodate the Committee's oversight interests," Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd wrote in a letter to Cummings on Thursday.
