Breaking: The House voted to hold Atty. Gen. William P. Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with its subpoenas regarding the 2020 census citizenship question.
The House voted Wednesday to hold Atty. Gen. William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in contempt of Congress forseeking information about why the Trump administration wanted to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census.
The mostly partisan 230-198 vote comes days after Trump, blocked by the Supreme Court from proceeding with the citizenship question,that the reason Ross had provided for adding the citizenship question — to help in enforcing the Voting Rights Act — was “contrived.” The justices blocked the Commerce Department from adding the question unless administration officials could provide a more compelling rationale.
