A US House committee investigating the Jan. 6 invasion of the Capitol will vote next Tuesday on whether to recommend a criminal charge of contempt against former White House adviser Steve Bannon, who did not appear to testify this Thursday (14).
If approved by the committee, the recommendation would be submitted to the plenary of the House of Representatives; if it goes through this step as well, it will be referred to the Department of Justice, which will then decide whether to sue Bannon.
According to information from the Associated Press, former White House adviser Donald Trump did not appear on Thursday due to an orientation from the former Republican president. Bannon also failed to provide the documents requested by the committee on time.
Another witness would be heard on Thursday, former Defense Department official Kashyap Patel, but his testimony was postponed. Two other former Trump administration officials, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and former social media director Dan Scavino, had depositions scheduled for this Friday, but both were also pushed back.
The Capitol was raided on Jan. 6 by Trump supporters, alleging fraud in Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential election victory. The riot caused five deaths and left dozens injured; hundreds of people have been arrested and are being prosecuted.
