The House will vote next week to hold a pair of top administration officials in criminal contempt of Congress for withholding information related to the census, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced Thursday.
"Next week, the full House will vote on a resolution of criminal contempt for Attorney General Barr and [Commerce] Secretary Ross so we can enforce our subpoenas and get the facts," Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) later clarified that the vote will be next Tuesday.
"We will hold this Admin accountable for continued obstruction & oppose efforts to undermine the census," Hoyer tweeted.
