WATCH LIVE: House Judiciary Committee votes on whether to cite Attorney General Barr for contempt of Congress over failure to turn over unredacted Mueller report
-- House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler said his committee has “no choice” but to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress Wednesday because the president must not be permitted “to operate a lawless administration and become a king.”
The House Judiciary Committee plans to vote Wednesday on holding Barr in contempt for failing to provide lawmakers with a fully unredacted version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian election meddling and whether President Trump obstructed justice. Barr on Tuesday night raised the stakes in his clash with Nadler threatening to ask Trump to invoke executive privilege to head off the committee’s demands.
The House Intelligence Committee is also pursuing the unredacted Mueller report. The panel’s ranking Republican, Devin Nunes, joined Chairman Adam Schiff in threatening to subpoena the report if the Justice Department hasn’t complied with its request.
