The Democrats on the House Oversight Committee voted on June 12 to recommend that the full House of Representatives find Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in contempt of Congress for defying congressional subpoenas related to the U.S. Census.
The Democrat-led panel voted 24–15, along party lines, to call on the House to find Barr and Ross in contempt for refusing to cooperate with an investigation of the Trump administration’s decision to add a citizenship question to the 2020 U.S. Census.
