Democrat-Led Jan. 6 House Committee to Hold Bannon in Contempt for Failing to Comply with Subpoena

The Democrat-led House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot voted unanimously Tuesday evening to hold former Trump ally Steve Bannon in contempt for failing to comply with the panel’s subpoena.

Several members for former President Trump’s inner circle recently have been subpoenaed by the committee for documents and testimony.

However, committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, says Bannon “stands alone in his complete defiance of our subpoena” and the panel will not take no for an answer, according to the Associated Press.

The full House is expected to vote Thursday on the contempt resolution. If passed, the resolution goes to the Justice Department, which would then decide whether to pursue criminal charges against Bannon.
