House To Put Barr, McGahn's Defiance Of Subpoenas Into Hands Of The Court

Description

CNN reports the House of Representatives will vote Tuesday on a resolution allowing the House Judiciary Committee -- and other House panels in the future -- to enforce its subpoenas in the courts. This, despite House Democrats aren't yet holding those who have defied subpoenas in contempt of Congress. The resolution authorizes the Judiciary panel to go to court to force Attorney General William Barr and former White House counsel Don McGahn to comply with their subpoenas. However, Monday's agreement means that Nadler won't take any court action against Barr -- at least for now.
