The House Oversight Committee voted in favor of holding Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in contempt for refusing to hand over subpoenaed materials related to a question about citizenship on the 2020 Census, Axios reports. The vote was split 24-15, with Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) reportedly being the sole Republican in favor of the move and voting with all the Democrats. The resolution must now go to a full House vote before Barr and Ross are officially held in contempt. President Trump earlier asserted executive privilege over the subpoenaed materials in order to block them from being disclosed.
