Pennsylvania House members voted to hold Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner in contempt for failing to comply with subpoenas in a House investigation.
"This is not a decision we, as a committee, came to lightly," Representative Torren Ecker said after his committed first recommended contempt, according to local Fox29. "This committee is steadfast in its intention to get to the bottom of the current unrest in Philadelphia, and being denied access to important documents hinders progress in achieving that goal."
Ecker noted that it is "extremely rare for the House to take up such a measure," which shows "the gravity of the situation in which we find ourselves."
