Two ex-advisers to former President Donald Trump should be held in contempt of Congress because they are withholding information that a House committee considers “central” to its investigation of events surrounding the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, the committee asserts.
Former White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications Dan Scavino “may have had advance warning about the potential for violence,” according to a report released Sunday by the investigating committee.
The panel is set to meet at 7:30 p.m. Monday to vote on recommending that the House of Representatives holds Scavino and Trump’s trade adviser Peter Navarro in contempt. If a House majority approves, criminal referrals would likely be sent to the Justice Department, which will decide whether to pursue prosecution.
