Pelosi on using inherent contempt power to fine officials who ignore subpoenas: “That is a path.” Won’t say whether she supports going down that path. “First we ask, then we subpoena friendly, then we subpoena otherwise, then we see what we get...let’s not leapfrog.” — PolitiTweet.org

.@SpeakerPelosi echoes @RepJerryNadler, calling WH response blocking @HouseJudiciary investigation “outrageous.” Acknowledges courts might find impeachment a legislative purpose to enforce congressional subpoenas, but says she hopes Congress doesn’t have to go there. — PolitiTweet.org

A bit of gallows humor from AG Barr this morning: He approached @SpeakerPelosi at an event today to shake her hand and ask, “Madam Speaker, did you bring your handcuffs?” Per a bystander, Pelosi told him that the House Sergeant at Arms was there should an arrest be necessary. — PolitiTweet.org
