House Committee To Vote On Holding AG Barr In Contempt Of Congress

Description

According to a report by Reuters, on Wednesday, the White House invoked 'executive privilege' to block the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's unredacted Russia report as a U.S. House panel met to vote on holding Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress for refusing to deliver the document. Reuters reports that Barr, who last month released a redacted 448-page version of the Mueller report on the findings of his 22-month inquiry, has refused to comply with a subpoena by the House Judiciary Committee to provide an unredacted version, in addition to underlying evidence. Executive privilege is reportedly a right claimed by presidents to withhold information about internal executive branch deliberations from other branches of government.
