Rep. Adam Schiff: Congress May Use ‘Litigation’ to ‘Compel’ Jeff Sessions to Answer Questions

"After being pressed by Blitzer if he meant they’d hold Sessions in contempt, Schiff noted that Congress would do what was necessary to get answers.
“Well, I think the process would be negotiation with the White House,” the Democratic lawmaker stated. “We’re going to demand answers to this. We’re going to subpoena him to come back, if necessary, and if he doesn’t answer, and we’re not satisfied with the claim of privilege, then we’ll take whatever steps are necessary to compel.”
He added, “That may ultimately result in litigation, but we need to get these answers.”
Blitzer wanted a definitive answer, however, and pushed him some more, leading Schiff to say that Congress would hold Sessions in contempt if he continued to refuse to answer questions, but that they’d also go to the White House to see if he’s invoking executive privilege."
