House panel cites Barr for contempt over redactions in Mueller report

Published May 8, 2019 8:38pm ET



The House Judiciary Committee voted to cite Attorney General William Barr for contempt of Congress after talks broke down over the release of an unredacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Lawmakers voted 24-16 along party lines on the contempt charge, sending it to the House floor where a vote has not yet been scheduled. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has not indicated whether she will bring up the contempt resolution.
