WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives Oversight Committee plans to vote on Wednesday on whether to hold Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in contempt of Congress for stonewalling a probe into an alleged scheme to politicize the 2020 U.S. Census.
"Both Secretary Ross and Attorney General Barr are refusing to comply with duly authorized subpoenas from Congress," the committee's chairman, Democratic Representative Elijah Cummings, said on Monday in a statement announcing the vote.
