The House committee investigating the Capitol riot has set a vote for next week to consider contempt of Congress charges for two aides of former President Donald Trump
The House committee investigating the Capitol riot said Thursday that it had set a vote for next week to consider contempt of Congress charges for two aides of former President Donald Trump.
The committee will meet Monday to discuss whether to recommend referring for potential prosecution Trump's former trade adviser, Peter Navarro, and Dan Scavino, the onetime chief of staff for communications. The meeting marks the latest effort by the panel to hold witnesses accountable whom it sees as uncooperative. The panel is investigating events leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection aimed at preventing Congress from certifying the results of the presidential election won by Democrat Joe Biden.
The committee subpoenaed Navarro for his testimony in early February, seeking to question the Trump ally who promoted false claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election. Though Navarro sought to use executive privilege to avoid cooperation, the Biden administration this month denied claims from himand another onetime Trump aide, former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
