"Next week the full house will vote on a resolution of criminal contempt for Attorney General Barr and Secretary Ross so we can enforce our subpoenas and get the facts," Pelosi said. This comes after the House Oversight Committee voted last month to hold Barr and Ross in contempt over the dispute.

Pelosi, when asked if Trump can add the citizenship question by executive action, replied: "I don't know" ...

"Well, I don't know. There's an injunction that he just has to overcome. It's an injunction against putting citizenship on the ballot. We have been printing the census forms.
