Committee Chairman John Conyers said "Unlike other disputes involving executive privilege, the President has never personally asserted privilege. The committee has never been given a privilege log, and there is no indication the President was ever personally involved in the termination decisions." Having passed the Committee the motion goes to the full House, where it is unlikely to receive a vote until after Congress's August recess. If the motion passes the full House, the case would likely be given to the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeffrey Taylor. "The administration has said it will direct federal prosecutors not to prosecute contempt charges."
