House Panel Seeks Contempt Citation for Barr, Ross Over Census

The U.S. House Oversight and Reform Committee on Tuesday moved to hold two top Trump administration officials in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with subpoenas over the addition of a controversial citizenship question to the 2020 Census.

In a report, the Democrat-controlled panel recommended that the full U.S. House of Representatives take up the contempt issue to force U.S. Attorney General William Barr and U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross comply with the subpoenas.
