“Given the unprecedented situation in which the administration’s essentially stonewalling all subpoenas . . . it just makes sense to spend as little floor time as possible and do them together,” Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said.
By Karoun Demirjian Karoun Demirjian Congressional reporter focusing on national security Email Bio Follow May 10 at 2:08 PM The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee on Friday endorsed the idea of bundling several contempt resolutions against people or entities affiliated with President Trump before having lawmakers vote on them — a sign that House Democrats expect to be stepping up their legal battles with the administration in the coming weeks.
The House Judiciary Committee voted along party lines earlier this week to hold Attorney General William P. Barr in contempt over his failure to produce the full contents of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report to Congress — something Barr has argued he cannot do without breaking the law, as releasing grand jury material would require a court order.
“We’re expecting him to show up on the 21st, and if he doesn’t, he’ll be subject to contempt … he has to respect the rule of law like anybody else,” Nadler said of McGahn. “We will enforce our subpoena on those.”
