House Democrats move toward court action vs. Barr, McGahn

Both have refused to cooperate with the Judiciary Committee, which wants the unredacted report by U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller on his probe into Russian election meddling and possible obstruction of the probe by Trump, and documents related to the investigation, as well as testimony from McGahn, a major player in the Mueller inquiry.
The House Ways and Means Committee is similarly poised to file a federal lawsuit to enforce subpoenas of Trump's individual and business tax returns. "The Trump administration is waging an unprecedented campaign of stonewalling and obstruction ... This resolution will allow Congress to hold the president accountable."The measure follows through on House Democrats' plans to go to court in their quest for an unredacted copy of Mueller's report.
The Oversight panel had set a Thursday deadline for Barr and Ross to produce the requested documents.
