The House voted to hold Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in criminal contempt on Wednesday, escalating a battle between the Trump administration and congressional Democrats.
The measure holds the Trump Cabinet members in contempt for defying subpoenas for documents on their since-abandoned efforts to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. The chamber approved the measure in a party-line vote of 230-198, with four Democrats joining all Republicans in voting against the resolution.
Democrats argued the measure was necessary to hold officials accountable for “obstruction & oppose efforts to undermine the census.” It passed the House Oversight and Reform Committee along party lines ahead of the July Fourth recess.

 Rabbi Paysach Krohn 
For many many years Rabbi Dovid Trenk ztz”l was a rebbi and mashgiach in Adelphia Yeshivah.
One Friday night a boy in the yeshiva stole Rabbi Trenk’s car and went to a movie theater!!
Somehow Rabbi Trenk found out about it and walked all the way to the movie theater, which was a long walk.
He came to the ticket booth and he said:
“I don’t want to buy a ticket but I have a student that is sitting inside and I need to tell him something. Can I just go in and I’ll come right out?”
The woman agreed and so he went into the dark movie theater… he searched the seats for his talmud… and finally he found him.
He sat down right next to him… (imagine the boys reaction!) and said to him:

“We’ve just received an overwhelming vote against impeachment and that’s the end of it,” Trump said. “It’s time to get back to work.”
In a pair of tweets issued around the same time, Trump called impeachment “perhaps the most ridiculous and time consuming project I have ever had to work on.”
He declared impeachment “is now over.”

The World Health Organization took the rare step of classifying an ongoing Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo a “public health emergency of international concern” just days after the first case of the virus was confirmed in the major city of Goma on the border with Rwanda.
The last time the global health body declared an international emergency for Ebola was during the 2014-2016 outbreak in West Africa that killed more than 11,000 people. The designation means the current outbreak qualifies for a higher level of global vigilance and mobilization to stem its spread.
Ebola began spreading in Congo’s conflict-ridden North Kivu province last August and has infected more than 2,500 and killed nearly 1,700, according to official health ministry figures.

U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar said that she plans to introduce a resolution this week in support of the anti-Israel BDS movement, reported Al-Monitor on Tuesday.
“We are introducing a resolution … to really speak about the American values that support and believe in our ability to exercise our first amendment rights in regard to boycotting,” the congresswoman told the outlet. “And it is an opportunity for us to explain why it is we support a nonviolent movement, which is the BDS movement.”
Since entering Congress in January, Omar has made multiple anti-Semitic and anti-Israel remarks.

Pakistan authorities on Wednesday arrested Hafiz Saeed, the alleged mastermind of a four-day militant attack on the Indian city of Mumbai in 2008, on terror finance charges, a spokesman for the chief minister of Punjab province said.
The arrest came days before a visit to Washington by Prime Minister Imran Khan, who has vowed to crack down on militant groups operating in Pakistan.
Saeed, designated a terrorist by the United States and the United Nations, is the founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), or Army of the Pure, the militant group blamed by the United States and India for the Mumbai attacks, which killed more than 160 people.
