Barr would be the first Trump administration official held in contempt by the Democratic-led House, which has repeatedly clashed with the White House over its investigations into President Donald Trump, his administration and his businesses.

Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Democrat on the panel, said following a meeting of Democratic members Tuesday afternoon.
