U. S. House panel cites White House officials for contempt.

The U. S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee has voted to cite White House Chief of Staff, Josh Bolton, and former White House Counsel, Harriet Myers, for contempt for refusing to testify about alleged law breaking surrounding "Prosecutorgate". The whole House will take up the matter presumably after their August break. If approved, as it probably will, the contempt action will set force a constitutional showdown between the House and the White House.
