This week on Party Politics, co-hosts Brandon Rottinghaus and Jay Aiyer analyze the potential outcomes of the House Judiciary Committee's decision to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt after his refusal to comply with the Committee's subpoenas to provide documents related to special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia report.
Jay and Brandon discuss the politics behind Trump evoking an Executive Privilege on all Mueller Report documentation, and explain why the Republican led Senate Intelligence Committee subpoenaed Donald Trump Jr. for his testimony on the Russia investigation.
