House Dems to Vote on Holding AG Barr in Contempt over Mueller Report

HeadlineMay 07, 2019

The House Judiciary Committee has scheduled a vote Wednesday to determine whether they will hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt after he failed to meet Monday’s deadline to hand over special counsel Robert Mueller’s unredacted report to lawmakers. The move also follows Barr’s no-show at a congressional hearing before the committee last Thursday. Lawmakers have set a tentative date of May 15 for Mueller to testify. On Sunday, Trump tweeted that Mueller should not testify before Congress, reversing an earlier statement saying the decision was up to Barr.
