House votes to hold Bannon in contempt for defying
Capitol attack subpoena
It is official: the House has voted to hold Steve
Bannon in criminal contempt for defying subpoenas issued by the select
committee investigating the Capitol insurrection.
The final vote was 229 to 202, with all Democrats and
nine Republicans supporting the resolution.
The matter
will now be referred to the justice department, which will have to determine
whether to prosecute Bannon, a former senior adviser to Donald Trump.
Testifying
before the House judiciary committee earlier today, attorney general Merrick
Garland said the justice department would fairly review any referral sent by
the House.
“The
department of justice will do what it always does in such circumstances,”
Garland told the committee. “We’ll apply the facts and the law and make a
decision, consistent with the principles of prosecution.”
