Washington (CNN) The Department of Justice informed the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday that President Donald Trump has asserted executive privilege over materials related to the addition of a citizenship question to the 2020 census. Cummings criticized the assertion of executive privilege Wednesday morning. Cummings told the committee on Wednesday that he would postpone the contempt vote until later in the afternoon so lawmakers could review the letter. According to a committee aide, a criminal contempt vote would have to go through the floor. Ross has called the planned committee vote "an empty stunt," and in an interview with CNBC on Tuesday said, "Please don't tell me we're not cooperating."
