The House Judiciary Committee will soon vote to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress. But the Justice Department is pushing back. Follow here for live updates

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Attorney General William Barr should be held in contempt during an on-stage interview with the Washington Post.She's referring to the Department of Justice's failure to comply to the subpoena for the unredacted report, rather than his not showing up to testify."We thought they'd come back with counter offer, but they pulled a temper tantrum.

The vote to hold Barr in contempt marks the first time that House Democrats are moving to punish a Trump administration official for defying a congressional subpoena and represents a dramatic escalation in tensions between Democrats and the White House. Nadler set Wednesday's Judiciary Committee vote after Barr did not agree by Monday's 9 a.m. ET deadline to comply with a subpoena for special counsel Robert Mueller's full, unredacted report and underlying evidence to Congress.

A crook always does until they are caught.

Barr is very busy these days working on collusion. Who goes to jail first? Clapper, Brennan, Hillary I bet Vegas has odds.

Why did you stop airing the hearing?

Democrats are asking AG Barr to break the law. Shame on the judiciary committee and you.

Wing man Holder was in contempt so the democrats want a Person to point a finger at to cover their ass.

Fuck that! Just throw his ass in jail now. Any regular Joe Blow that did the same thing to Congress would be in jail at this point. Why does the AG, the DOJ and the Prez think their all above the law? I have no faith in Congress or our Gov’t anymore to do the right thing.

crooked bastards one and all

That’s terrible what Dems are doing to AG Barr. He won’t say what they want to hear so he is being bullied and harassed!

Reading has been banned in the House Judiciary Committee! Nadler hasn't gone to the scif and read the unredacted report! White House will use executive privalege and he will release all those documents that will show the Dems weaponizing the DOJ,FBI, CIA, NSA against a campaign!

This is called democracy guys stop talking smack that Dems are afraid they'll lose the election for 2020! They're doing there job! And it doesn't take two sides to get here it's one side only! I'm so proud of them 😁! Great reporters but your analysis can be way off ✌️!

Another empty threat, by the politically motivated Democrats, against Trump. They will be shut down, once again, as they need to stop playing politics with our government.

Do what Obama did for Eric holder, claim executive privilege

What have democrats done since taking over the house? Nothing... except obstructions. What a shame and every American should work hard to get them out of power.

He is investigating democrats so they are obstructing justice by their own standard.

RepJerryNadler plays childish political games with the Barr dog and pony show! What a joke you clowns are. You may want to go and look at the available un redacted report...you and all other Dems that haven’t even been in the room!🙄

The DOJ isn't pushing back, Barr is he's panicking because trump is panicking. He knows it's all coming apart. He doesn't want to be held in contempt. He knows what happened to John Mitchell.

And BARR will uphold the law ...

For what? Group therapy for Dems. Pathetic.

You poor poor misguided fools. Now that FISAgate is coming to a head the media and their Democrat overlords are apoplectic, projecting their corruption even upon AGBarr. Buckle up buttercup, it's inevitable bitchez😁👍 Snowflakes

The people should hold the Democrats in contempt for wasting taxpayer's (ongoing) money and not focusing on the country

😂😂😂😂Holder is still laughing...

Every single one of them better find him guilty and follow through with the punishment. Tired of these criminals walking free, spitting in the face of Justice.

Not gonna happen . Is there nothing else newsworthy to report on apart from this std itch you have to continually claw at . Come on DNN , what will drive you when Trumps gone ?

Ag Barr agreed to appear before house dems. Nadler wants the AG to be interviewed by outside lawyers as if he were a criminal. Dems are so ridiculous. Sure wish they’d stop this partisan nonsense. Mueller found no chargeable crime

watch this public on trump

Contempt of what?

Lol, contempt for not breaking the law for political party games
