The select committee investigating the Capitol riot on Jan. 6 backed a report Tuesday evening recommending that Steve Bannon, a one-time aide to former President Donald Trump, be held in contempt of Congress.
The step, approved unanimously, clears the way for the full House of Representatives to vote on whether to recommend contempt charges for Bannon, which if passed could lead to criminal prosecution charges against him. The committee subpoenaed Bannon in late September, but he has refused to comply, echoing Trump’s claims of executive privilege.
