The vote to hold Barr and Ross in criminal contempt was 230-198, with 4 Democrats and all Republicans voting no. Ross issued a fiery statement immediately after the vote, charging that House Democrats "never sought to have a productive relationship with the Trump Administration." "We urge that the House postpone the contempt vote in order to allow the constitutionally mandated accomodation process to continue," Barr and Ross wrote. " The high court’s ruling said that a citizenship question could be permitted in theory, but there had to be a valid reason for it. Separately, the House voted to disapprove of the administration going around Congress and selling arms to Saudi Arabia.
