The House Judiciary Committee has voted to hold former White House counsel Harriet Miers and former White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify on the firing of nine U.S. attorneys. The two White House aides ignored a subpoena after President Bush claimed executive privilege protects them from testifying. The contempt measure will now come before the full House.
