A Republican congressman is postponing a move to impeach Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein after meeting with top members of his party.

“I think the very first order of business would be moving the House to a contempt vote,” Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) told reporters on July 26.“I think it is our desire to have more of a contempt process, which obviously has to have a partner with the Speaker and I think, hopefully, they will at least acknowledge we’ve made some reasonable concessions to give DOJ [Department of Justice] and FBI.”
