The planned vote to hold Kellyanne Conway in contempt of Congress was delayed Wednesday evening.

The House Oversight Committee originally planned to vote Thursday morning to recommend the chamber hold Conway in contempt for refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena.

'I am postponing the Committee's vote as I work with the White House to try to reach an accommodation,' Oversight Chairman Elijah Cummings said in a statement Wednesday.

'Ms. Conway violated the law numerous times and must be held accountable,' he continued, suggesting the panel would not drop the matter just because the vote was canceled.

Oversight issued a subpoena June 26 for the White House counselor to testify before the panel following a report from a government watchdog that alleged she violated the Hatch Act.

The Hatch Act forbids federal government employees from participating in campaign activities – and the Office of the Special Counsel, which is completely separate from the office previously run by Robert Mueller, says Conway violated this rule.

The report claims the counselor to President Trump engaged in campaign activities by 'disparaging Democratic presidential candidates while speaking in her official capacity during television interviews and on social media.'

The report recommended she be fired.

Conway often appears on TV as a surrogate for the president, and doesn't hold back when issuing criticism of those running to become the Democratic candidate to take on Trump in 2020.

The Oversight Committee's original hearing was to ask Conway questions related to allegations she violated the Hatch Act – meaning as a federal government employee she unlawfully engaged in campaign activities

Conway often appears on TV to speak on behalf of the president, but also has made disparaging comments about Democratic candidates vying to take on Trump in 2020. This role could be seen as her participating in both the White House office and in the reelection campaign, which violates the Hatch Act

Conway said she would testify because she doesn't think she broke any laws, but isn't going to do so because it would set a bad precedent that it's OK to subpoena presidential advisers

Conway was called to testify before the House Oversight Committee on July 15, but she did not appear for the hearing.

Instead a White House attorney sent a letter to Cummings stating she would not testify, arguing all presidential advisers are immune from complying with such congressional subpoenas.

A day later, on July 16, Conway defends ignoring the subpoena, deeming herself a martyr for 'taking one for the team' and refusing to set a bad precedent.

'I'd be happy to testify. I have nothing to hide. I've done nothing wrong,' Conway told Fox News in an interview. 'I would love to go testify, but I'm taking one for the team here because there's a long-standing tradition to claim immunity and not have people like me testify.'
