.@RepJerryNadler formally rejects DOJ's demand to cancel a contempt vote for AG Barr planned for 6/11 before continuing negotiations over accessing Mueller report documents. "We urge you to return to the accommodation process without conditions," he says: https://t.co/4tywTCFiOg — PolitiTweet.org

By a vote of 237 to 187, the House has passed H.R. 6, the American Dream and Promise Act. The bill provides a pathway to citizenship for people brought here illegally as children (a broader population than just DACA recipients) as well as recipients of TPS and DED. — PolitiTweet.org

Loud chants of “si se puede” - and then “yes we can” - break out from people in the House gallery as HR6, the American Dream and Promise Act, passes the threshold for the number of votes needed to pass. — PolitiTweet.org

A letter from WH Counsel Pat Cipollone to @RepJerryNadler denying a request for documents from Hope Hicks and Annie Donaldson reveals that the House Judiciary Committee is still negotiating with the administration over reviewing some of underlying Mueller report materials --> https://t.co/lc8kerq43H — PolitiTweet.org

Should Mueller testify before Congress? “He ought to testify. He may want a subpoena for all I know,” @LeaderHoyer says. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

.⁦@RepJerryNadler⁩ says the White House has instructed Hope Hicks and Annie Donaldson not to turn over documents in response to a subpoena from House Judiciary, but Hicks will turn over some from the campaign. Nadler thanks her for “that show of good faith.” https://t.co/UzaaaTMKFf — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

It would be “a real misreading of the Speaker of the House of Representatives” if the administration tries to push through USMCA w/out Pelosi buy in, @LeaderHoyer says. When she was speaker in 2008 she blocked the US-Columbia trade deal when Bush sent it up before she was ready. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

.@LeaderHoyer says upcoming contempt votes for Barr and McGahn are a “first but important step” to get compliance with subpoenas. The House can still pursue criminal or inherent contempt - but criminal would rely on DOJ, aka Barr, deciding to press charges. — PolitiTweet.org

Correcting -- McCarthy, while headed to Europe tomorrow, is only meeting with Pompeo on tariffs, not the president. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

On Mueller’s press conference last week, @GOPLeader take is that POTUS can’t have obstructed an investigation because there was no underlying crime (Mueller took a different view of this). — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

.@GOPLeader says he has a meeting with Trump and Pompeo tomorrow; sounds like tariffs are on the agenda. Won’t say he supports tariffs but says he hopes Mexico will assist US at southern border. — PolitiTweet.org

The bill officially passes by a vote of 354-58. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Contempt will also be for former White House Counsel Don McGahn, who refused to testify before @HouseJudiciary at Trump’s direction. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

In a statement, ⁦@LeaderHoyer⁩ says he will bring up a contempt resolution to seek civil enforcement of the subpoenas - going to court to get the information. No criminal contempt yet. https://t.co/7WpEaqWk79 — PolitiTweet.org

The House is voting now on a $19.1 billion disaster aid bill. Democrats tried to pass it by unanimous consent 3 times during the last recess but each effort was blocked by @chiproytx, @RepThomasMassie and @RepJohnRose, respectively. Requires 2/3 support to pass. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Still unclear if this vote will just be for Barr, or whether there will be others. @OversightDems are planning to hold Barr and Commerce Secretary Ross in contempt for failing to turn over documents about adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

Per multiple aides, the House will vote to hold AG Barr in contempt on 6/11. The House Judiciary Committee voted to recommend contempt on 5/8 after he failed to respond to a subpoena for the entire Mueller report and urged Trump to claim executive privilege over the entire thing. — PolitiTweet.org

Rebecca Kaplan @RebeccaRKaplan

.@RepCummings gives AG Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross until June 6 to hand over documents related to the decision to add a citizenship question to the census, or he'll schedule a vote to hold them in contempt. Letter to Barr: https://t.co/200egHkVcL — PolitiTweet.org

"The case has to be very compelling to the American people," @SpeakerPelosi says of impeachment. She said the 35 or 38 members (her count) that want the House to begin an impeachment inquiry get more attention than the 200-some that don't. — PolitiTweet.org
