A top Democrat announced that the House will vote next week on whether to hold Attorney General William Barr and former White House Counsel Donald McGahn in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with congressional subpoenas.
A name placard for former White House Counsel Donald McGahn, who did not appear at a House Judiciary Committee hearing May 21.
Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer said in a statement that the Trump administration's"systematic refusal to provide Congress with answers and cooperate with congressional subpoenas is the biggest cover-up in American history, and Congress has a responsibility to provide oversight on behalf of the American people."
The move comes as Democrats face increased pressure from some of their members to launch impeachment proceedings against President Trump. Some Democrats at a leadership meeting late Monday indicated they welcomed the contempt vote, according to people familiar with the private session, though it is unlikely to quell calls for impeachment hearings against Trump.
