Attorney General William Barr instructed the department official not to testify before the House Oversight Committee, according to a letter to the panel.
By Rachael Bade Rachael Bade Congressional reporter Email Bio Follow April 24 at 12:04 PM The Justice Department said Wednesday that it will not comply with a congressional subpoena for a Trump administration official to testify in a House panel’s investigation of the addition of a citizenship question to the 2020 Census.
Gore’s refusal to appear before the committee is at the direction of Attorney General William P. Barr, according to the letter, escalating the already explosive fight between the executive and legislative branch. “There is no reason to go any further, and especially in Congress where it’s very partisan — obviously very partisan,” Trump said.
Barr’s decision to block Gore’s testimony comes a day after the White House blocked a top security clearance official from testifying for the Oversight panel’s probe of the security clearance process. Cummings announced that he would hold the official, Carl Kline, in contempt of Congress in the coming days.
