The House Oversight and Reform Committee met to debate holding Attorney General Barr and Commerce Secretary Ross in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with subpoenas related to a citizenship question the Trump administration added to the 2020 Census. The committee voted 24-15 in favor of holding the two officials in contempt of Congress. Only one Republican, Representative Justin Amash (MI), voted with all committee Democrats to approve the resolution. As the committee meeting took place, members learned the administration had asserted executive privilege over the subpoenaed documents due to the fact that the committee was moving ahead for the contempt vote. close
