The January 6th Select Committee tasked with investigating the January 6th riot has voted to hold former Trump Chief of Staff in contempt multiple outlets report.

According to CNBC:

The select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot recommended Monday that the House hold former President Donald Trump’s White House chief of staff Mark Meadows in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena.

The bipartisan, nine-member panel voted unanimously in support of a report that includes a resolution recommending that the House find Meadows in contempt and refer him to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution.

The 51-page contempt report lays out Meadows’ refusal to fully comply with the subpoena, requiring him to produce a slew of records to the committee and sit for a deposition with the investigators.

Meadows had handed over thousands of records, the committee said, before reversing course and refusing to cooperate, citing Trump’s assertion that Meadows’ testimony is protected by executive privilege.

Select committee chairman Representative Bennie Thompson, D – Miss, stated that the documents handed over by Meadows raised questions and he must come and answer those questions.
