The move comes after the attorney general failed to provide the committee with a response by the 9 a.m. Monday deadline set by Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler, who has issued a subpoena for the full Mueller report and its underlying evidence.

The House Judiciary Committee will hold a vote Wednesday to begin the formal process of holding Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with a congressional subpoena for the unredacted Mueller report and its underlying evidence.

“The Attorney General's failure to comply with our subpoena, after extensive accommodation efforts, leaves us no choice but to initiate contempt proceedings in order to enforce the subpoena and access the full, unredacted report,” Nadler said. “If the Department presents us with a good faith offer for access to the full report and the underlying evidence, I reserve the right to postpone these proceedings.

“[Democrats] know the Justice Department is working to negotiate even as they pursue contempt charges, making their move today illogical and disingenuous,” Collins said in a statement. “Democrats have launched a proxy war smearing the attorney general when their anger actually lies with the president and the special counsel, who found neither conspiracy nor obstruction."
