House Judiciary Committee

The House Judiciary Committee has threatened to subpoena Amazon founder Jeff Bezos if he does not voluntarily address the company possibly misleading Congress in earlier testimony.

William Barr told ABC News that he wishes the president wouldn't offer commentary about cases the Justice Department is handling or judges before which its attorneys are arguing.

After an abrupt end to a contentious day of debate, the panel reconvened Friday morning to pass the articles on party-line votes. The full House of Representatives is expected to vote next week.

The House Judiciary is holding a hearing on the findings of the impeachment inquiry, with attorneys for both parties. Chairman Jerry Nadler said at the start that the president "has broken his oath."

The House speaker made the announcement Thursday morning at the Capitol, a day after the first hearing by the panel that would draft those articles. Republicans said the move "weakened this nation."
