By Olivia Beavers and Morgan Chalfant - 05/06/19 09:45 AM EDT
Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee on Monday took their first formal step toward holding Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress.
The committee scheduled a markup of a contempt citation for Barr over his refusal to provide special counsel Robert Mueller’s full report to Congress.
The markup, slated for Wednesday at 10 a.m., comes after Democrats gave the Justice Department (DOJ) a 9 a.m. Monday deadline to provide the report as well as the underlying evidence.
The news is the latest development in an ongoing standoff between the committee and the Justice Department over Mueller’s investigation and report.
