House Dems to Vote on Holding AG Barr in Contempt Over Mueller Report
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The House Judiciary Committee has scheduled a vote Wednesday to
determine whether they will hold Attorney General William Barr in
contempt after he failed to meet Monday's deadline to hand over Special
Counsel Robert Mueller's unredacted report to lawmakers. The move also
follows Barr's no-show at a congressional hearing before the committee
last Thursday. Lawmakers have set a tentative date of May 15 for Mueller
to testify. On Sunday, Trump tweeted that Mueller should not testify
before Congress, reversing an earlier statement saying the decision was
up to Barr.
