House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced the House will vote next week on criminal contempt citations against Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee advanced the contempt citations last month after Barr and Ross failed to comply with subpoenas requested by committee Chairman Elijah Cummings of Maryland.
Democrats and the Trump administration are feuding over Trump’s desire to include a citizenship question on the 2020 census.
The Supreme Court ruled the question cannot be included but Trump has pledged to take executive action to circumvent the high court.
The Democratic-led House is likely to approve the contempt citations against the two men. The citations would be referred to the Justice Department where they are likely to be rejected.
