"Both Secretary Ross and Attorney General Barr are refusing to comply with duly authorized subpoenas from Congress. Because they are in contempt of Congress, on Wednesday, the Committee will vote to move forward to enforce our bipartisan subpoenas," Cummings said in a statement Monday.
"I continue to hope that they will change course and begin producing the information we need to do our job under the Constitution," he added.
Cummings on Monday also released the text of the proposed contempt resolution.
