Gorsuch defies contempt ruling over EPA documents
EPA administrator Anne Gorsuch, cited for contempt for defying a House subpoena on toxic waste cleanup records, vows to follow the president and uphold executive privilege. The House votes 259 to 105 to refer the matter to the DC U.S. attorney for grand jury action, with Justice Department seeking civil action instead. The case raises constitutional questions about executive and legislative powers and could reach the Supreme Court.
