elijah was asked to come to egypt by the president of egypt at the time, and elijah muhammad decided to send his emissary instead to pave the way for elijah. that was really malcolm's -- even though he grew up having been taught about the beauties and glories of africa and its history, this was his first trip to africa and even to the middle east. being someone who identified as muslim, he of course was excited to visit a muslim nation in egypt. he also hoped and planned when he arrived -- when he planned his trip, to go on a hajj as well. he arrived on july 4 in egypt, but immediately falls ill, so he is not able to travel to mecca, but he is able to spend more time in egypt, as well as he traveled to saudi arabia. this is one of the more critical periods in malcolm's life, and we wouldn't necessarily see the effects of it in his public rhetoric, but according to many biographers of malcom, this was a critical period as he lived in these muslim nations, because he began to see how much nation of islam's theology and traditions and practices was so unorthodox. but of course, he could

elijah cummings considering impeachment proceedings. what is the issue there? the issue there is the trump administration to add citizenship questions to the 2020 census which democrats and other critics say would prompt some to not respond to a census, and therefore skewing 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. 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 report on bloomberg.com, and he is on twitter. billy house, thanks so much. >> we will have live coverage monday of the house and rules committee voting on a resolution authorizing judiciary chai

>> fair question from elijah cummings there? >> no question. be a political endeavor. if there's really nothing to hide here, if all they're doing is to try to do the best job possible of counting everyone in the united states, why have a big fight over this? the mueller report, it's understandable there would be a fight over that. that involves wrongdoing by the president. this should be fairly routine oversight by the house. so, it certainly raises a lot of questions. and i think that the committee is being smart by taking some time to evaluate what they're going to do in response to this letter because this is going to end up in court. and they want to appear as reasonable as possible and position us the right way for the litigation to follow. >> so, just talk about this in the broader context here, because -- well, we've got about 30 seconds. we've got to leave it there. >> sure. >> renato mariotti, thank you. >> sure. >> it's more stonewalling but supreme court may be the final arbiter on this soon, maybe as soon as monday. >> all presiden

talk us through exactly what elijah cummings is accusing bill barr and wilbur ross of?ress has the foresubpoena documents but as we've seen over the last few months that power doesn't mean a whole lot because the executive branch knows it is uniquely situated to oppose these. after all how do you hold bill barr in criminal contempt because the next step is to ask bill barr to present bill barr to indict bill barr for contempt. congress has other contempt powers and can send the sergeant of arms out to arrest people but that's not realist jig. congress has the foresubpoena but only kind of because ultimately it requires another branch to enforce that. in this particular case, the key is, congress wants these documents from the executive branch in order to determine whether or not the proposed change to the sentence question was not to enforce the law but instead motivated to help white and other similarly situated voters. >> holding them in contempt they are building this paper trail, building case to take this up to the supreme court if they want to. >> exactly. . simul

elijah cummings holds bill barr and wilbur ross in contempt. he wants to suggest to the supreme court there is vital information being withheld so the court will put off ruling in the case. this is not a good way to use contempt. paul: then we have the showdown, so-called, between jerry nadler, two democrats and the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi. nadler wants to start an impeachment inquiry for what i think is actually a sound reason in the sense that if you're going to investigate and ask for documents, impeachment is the firmest constitutional ground that congress can have. on the other hand, nancy pelosi trying to protect her members from what could be a very controversial decision. >> yeah, i think there's two strategies going on here. the nadler impeachment strategy which is to consistent try the american public a that the trump presidency is in no way a normal presidency. it's an abnormal presidency. joe biden is running on that strategy. on the other hand, have you nancy pelosi who is speaker of the house, only because so many democ

that's when the department of justice and the commerce department sent letters to elijah cummings, the chairman of this committee, saying that the president planned to assert executive privilege over the documents. i want to read just a little bit of that letter from the department of justice. it said, this letter is to advise you the president has asserted executive privilege over subpoenaed documents identified by the committee. in addition the president has made a protective assertion of executive privilege over the remainder of the subpoenaed documents. so that was the fireworks that begun this hearing. and a few minutes into it, elijah cummings basically argued you had months to make this assertion of executive privilege. instead, you wait until just a couple of minutes before my hearing begins and then you assert it. so, he advised members to go ahead, read through the letters, then he would come back later this afternoon for the actual vote to hold these officials in contempt. he wants to give members of congress a bit of time to look over the materials, specifically to lack ove
