House Votes to Hold Mark Meadows In Contempt

“The House on Tuesday voted to hold former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows in criminal contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena issued by the bipartisan committee investigating the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob,” the Washington Post reports.

“The resolution was approved on a 222-to-208 vote, with just two Republicans — Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger — joining Democrats in voting ‘yes.’”

“The matter now goes to the Justice Department, which will decide whether to pursue the contempt referral.”
