>> billy house, congressional correspondent with bloomberg news joins us. what does the judiciary committee want to get out of don mcghan, the former white house counsel, and the attorney general, william barr? asked for william barr the rest of the special counsel report from robert mueller, the redacted portions. his administration said they would talk about that, but they release. some of those described in the mueller report itself. >> the headline on one of your many stories at bloomberg.com reads democrats refine contempt charges against william barr and

don mcgann. what have they refined? what will we see on the house floor? >> there are a couple of changes to the criminal contempt resolution, which could have led to criminal charges against william barr for not producing the documents. they are going to the floor on tuesday, a full house vote on what is essentially a civil process to allow the committee and other committees to launch legal proceedings in federal court to get the documents and testimony they are seeking. because theynge realize the attorney general, if he were to be held criminally, would have to be prosecuted by the justice department, which he runs, and it is unlikely they

would take any action against him. also believe they created a new process in this resolution where committee chairman no longer even have to hold committee votes but floor votes to try to get movement from a special committee, which is basically run by speaker pelosi to get permission to intervene or launch legal action without any other authority. this five partisan legal advisory committee is an all-new structure? sincehas been around 1992. it has been used by speakers both republican and democrat to get kind of shortcut permission to intervene in lawsuits. what is new now is that this is going to allow not only judiciary committee chairman jerrold nadler or oversight committee chairman elijah cummings or anyone else to just simply use their chairman subpoena power to also basically

launch legal actions, not even going to their own members on their own committee. that has raised some legal concerns among experts, but at the same time, those who depend -- defend it say that the house will not now be burdened a constant votes on contempt and subpoenas on the house floor or at committee. >> give us a quick look at what we will see next week starting with a house rules meeting on monday and then the floor action on this resolution on tuesday. >> on monday, the resolution that we are talking about is actually formally now sponsored by rules committee chairman james mcgovern. he will hold a hearing meeting in which they will set the rules for the floor debate the next day on tuesday for this resolution.

i am told they will give one hour debate, 30 minutes to republicans, 30 minutes to democrats, and that will set up what should be a very interesting floor vote. i am told that the networks have asked permission to broadcast this debate, but likely it will be limited to c-span. what we could expect is the same thing to republicans teeing off on this to democrats teeing off on this on speaker pelosi with those who favor impeachment now. why are we going through all this? why don't we launch impeachment proceedings now? >> they headline in your piece barr anddemocrats, ross, will be held in contempt. elijah cummings considering impeachment proceedings. what is the issue there? >> the issue there is the

efforts by the trump administration to add a citizens question to the 2020 census which democrats and other critics say would prompt some to not respond to a census, and therefore skew and even undercount populations that could have impacts on electoral divisions, representation in congress, and even federal funding. the argument here is that barr says he was asked to add that question by the justice department to help as a voter rights mechanism protection. oversight committee chairman cummings says he has evidence that in fact it was designed as a political purpose and that -- so he has been for two months now trying to get documents from both the justice department and the commerce department to outline how they came to the decision. >> billy house covers congress for bloomberg, you can read his
