Morning Docket: 06.07.19

* "We want him to testify openly. I think the American people need that. I think, frankly, it's his duty to the American people." House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler said that he could subpoena former special counsel Robert Mueller in the next two weeks if they can't come to an agreement for his public testimony. [POLITICO] * After refusing even more subpoena demands, it’s highly likely that the House is going to hold AG Bill Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in contempt of Congress. Let’s see if this goes anywhere... [Washington Post] * Former Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden says that he no longer supports the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits federal funds from being used for most abortions: “I can't justify leaving millions of women without access to the care they need and the ability to ... exercise their constitutionally protected right.” [CNN] * In case you missed it, just ahead of his sentencing, former Trump administration national security adviser Michael Flynn fired his entire legal team from Covington. He has new lawyers, but hasn't announced who they are. [National Law Journal] * Denver Law has been sued once again for allegedly paying its female professors less than its male professors, despite the school's consent agreement with the EEOC. This time around, an associate professor at the school claims she's being paid more than $30,000 less than the average salary among her male colleagues. [Law.com]
