Trump invokes executive privilege ahead of House Oversight contempt vote for Barr, Ross

Washington 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.

The move comes ahead of a vote in the committee about whether to hold Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in contempt of Congress over a dispute related to the census and for not complying with subpoenas issued by the committee.

Why though?! It’s the census! Why would you want to hide it when the results are public record

In other words, realDonaldTrump fully admits he cannot win in 2020 so he has to get the help of Russia AND cheat Americans of their votes. THIS IS THE GOP STANDARD-BEARER. DNC TrumpCriminalInvestigations ImpeachTrump IndictTrump IncarcerateTrump

Nobody cares what you say.

Trump is a corrupt p.o.s. ImpeachmentInquiryNow realDonaldTrump Trump41

Anti-American Dems want to keep the citizenship question off the census, just so they can take advantage of all the illegals they are purposefully letting into the country. They will try to anything, no matter how immoral, to gain power.

A lie, when repeated enough times, masquerades as the truth. SadButTrue

We all know the “father of lies” is the devil himself. so anyone who is a perpetual liar n perpetuating lies is a servant of the devil.. n so we know which side some in CNN will stand on,on that day. Sad is that some have spoken lies for so long, they ACTUALLY believe it is truth

Until the LawlessDemocrats are held accountable for their lies and hate, then I'm glad President Trump uses his executive privileges.

Every time he opens his mouth , lies , denial , collusion , obstruction.............

I thought this was the “most transparent” administration in history.

It's a crying shame we even have to ask that question! Illegaly entering our Country should be an immediate jailing offense ending in deportation. No Congressional representation!

What is he hiding?

Our country may never recover from this disastrous presidency.

House is going to hold a motion to discuss having a vote to discuss having a hearing to discuss possibly voting on holding motions

This is not how democracy works. This is the beginning of a dictatorship.

Because, transparency. Hiding the political motivations behind the census question.

The only information which is not privileged is what he ate for BF, Lunch and Dinner- Hamberders , that too Bigly

Whats realy going on ? Only god know's

They get splattered and muddy while Trump comes away clean...again. They deserve each other.

This is what it looks like guilt runs from truth.

What The king is asserting more executive privilege. Trump needs to be stopped. CountryOverParty AmericansForImpeachment

ZeroTransparency. Too much to hide.

What does this has to do with price of tea in China. They are in contempt lock them up.

Why does this DEVIL get away with so much corruption? Please explain this to me. No OTHER President would be able to get away with this. Who is really running our country?

Making America Great Again- drain the swamp? This criminal DICKtator thinks he’s above the law - a traitor put in office by a communist country & Trumpanzees seem fine with it - the worlds punchline who lies, lies & lies & accomplishes NOTHING except riling up his naïve sheep

YOUR A CROOK!!!!!

It was different when Obummer did it 🤣: On June 20, 2012, President Barack Obama asserted executive privilege in order to withhold DOJ documents related to Operation Fast and Furious ahead of a House Committee vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi its TIME

Dear Democrats, Please do your job. Sincerely, Everyone

He does have small hands!!! Lol 😆

God Help Us All🙏🙏🙏

Remember that time when Obama declares privilege over the Holder documents concerning Fast and Furious. Remember that.. do ya?

All of this could be avoided if everyone would just bend the knee.

One would think if there was a legitimate and benign reason for adding new questions to the census form, there would be no reason to try to hide that reason.

“Most transparent “... suuure

people with 20 followers, no description but resist, and a blue wave emoji are really upset and demanding impeachment. MAGA2020 MAGA

Isn't that obstructing justice?

I feel like he can’t do this?

WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?

Give em hell Mr President

Why on earth would he want that document hidden away? The GOP is the party of personal accountability, right?

Most dangerous, corrupt, and inept administration ever.

Trump is such a boss

Citizens privilege. Impeach this traitor.

So much corruption... So little time...

Censure and impeach.

Corrupt....
