Nadler threatens to hold Attorney General Barr in contempt over Mueller report
House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., threatens to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress.
A placard has been placed on the witness table where Attorney General Robert Barr is schedule to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill on May 2, 2019 in Washington, DC.House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., threatened to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress if the Department of Justice does provide access to the unredacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia report.
A Justice Department spokeswoman said that Nadler's format for the hearing, which would have carved out time for the committee's staff attorneys to question Barr, was "unprecedented and unnecessary." "The chairman can't have it both ways," Collins said. "He can't try to pacify his liberal base by pretending to do impeachment without actually taking the plunge. The reality of our chamber and this distinguished committee is that when it comes to impeachment, you're either in, Mr. Chairman, or you're out, and, right now, you're out."
