House Dems to <br />Hold Contempt Vote <br />After AG Barr Misses <br />Mueller Report Deadline William Barr missed the <br />9am Monday deadline to provide <br />Congress the unredacted version <br />of the special counsel's report. Democratic members <br />of the House Judiciary Committee <br />said they intend to hold the vote on Wednesday. The vote will decide <br />whether or not to hold <br />the Attorney General in <br />contempt of Congress. Republican members <br />of the committee <br />accused the Democrats <br />of "smearing" Barr. Last week, the Attorney General <br />declined to testify before the <br />House Judiciary Committee. The move prompted some <br />Democratic members of <br />the committee to refer <br />to Barr as "chicken." One member brought a bucket <br />of KFC to the proceedings, <br />eating it across from the empty <br />chair intended for the Attorney General. The House Judiciary Committee <br />has proposed May 15 for Robert <br />Mueller to testify before Congress.
