House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler told Fox News that contempt proceedings against Attorney General Bill Barr are still set for Wednesday "at the moment," and Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., added that "all systems" were "go." It remained unclear whether Democrats would seek to hold Barr in civil, criminal, or inherent contempt of Congress. At issue: the Justice Department refusing to provide the full text of Mueller's report by the Monday morning deadline. Nadler said Barr's failure to comply with a subpoena left them with "no choice but to initiate contempt proceedings." Beyond Mueller's report, House Democrats, so far mostly unsuccessfully, have subpoenaed administration witnesses and made efforts to gain access to Trump's personal and business financial records.
